A propos de cet article

Title: Swiss Cavalry Escort in Festive Parade ? Bern's Entry into the Confederation, 1855 Description: This striking hand-colored lithograph, executed by H. Jenny and lithographed by Kümmerly and Wittmer, is part of the grand *Fest Album* celebrating Bern's entry into the Swiss Confederation on March 6, 1353. This historic event was commemorated in 1853 during the Victory Days of Laupen and Murten, marking key moments in Bernese and Swiss military history. The print was published in Bern and Zurich in 1855 as part of a large oblong folio featuring magnificent festival processions with historical figures, cantonal or guild groups in elaborate period costumes. The composition captures a ceremonial Swiss cavalry escort in full regalia, exuding an air of disciplined grandeur. The riders, clad in richly detailed 14th and 15th-century armor, are adorned with flowing red and black capes, their plumed helmets lending an air of medieval chivalry. The horses, similarly draped in elaborate barding with matching colors, are depicted mid-stride, emphasizing movement and order within the procession. The leading figure, likely an officer or noble, commands attention with his confident posture and refined attire, setting the tone for the grand parade. This lithograph embodies the 19th-century Romantic revival of medieval heritage, particularly in Switzerland, where historical cantonal traditions were highly revered. Not just a decorative piece, this artwork serves as a historical document, offering a glimpse into the pageantry and pride surrounding Bern's role in the Confederation. The choice of a large oblong folio format allows for intricate detailing, showcasing the rich textures of fabrics, metallic sheen of the armor, and meticulous rendering of equestrian figures. As part of a larger commemorative series, this lithograph visually narrates the grand festival of 1853, which marked 500 years of Bern's alliance within the Swiss Confederation. The celebrations featured reenactments, parades, and military demonstrations, all aimed at honoring Bern's historical significance. This piece stands as a testament to Switzerland's rich tradition of pageantry and historical remembrance. Condition Summary: The print remains well-preserved with vibrant hand coloring that accentuates its historical splendor. Minor signs of age and handling include occasional light foxing and faint spots in the margins, typical for a lithograph of this era. These minor imperfections do not detract from the overall visual appeal. The paper has retained its strength and detail, making it a fine collectible piece. Framing Tips: For optimal display, consider using a high-quality frame with museum-grade UV-protected glass or acrylic to prevent fading and damage from light exposure. A wide mat border in neutral or deep tones can enhance the contrast and depth of the composition. Given the print's large oblong format, a horizontal frame in wood?preferably with gold or dark mahogany accents?will complement its historical character. Archival mounting materials should be used to ensure its preservation for future generations.…
