The Triumph of Maximilian is online

Thanks to ornerie who pointed me to this...

The Triumph of Maximilian is online! 

And its in color too, although the coloring does not date to the 16th c. :(  It seems that it was colored in 1765 by Josef Hoeger, so the coloring is not original, as I had originally hoped.

However, in glancing through it, Josef Hoeger did a really good job of coloring it in a fashion that *looks* right. There are a few things that strike me as off,  for instance the women's clothing on the last page, but the men look pretty spot on in comparison with other artwork that we know was painted or colored in the 16th c.

Oh, check out the self-propelled float! Nifty! And I'm loving the black and gold slashed livery.

I am super excited about the VARIETY...in horse clothing, in horse breed, in tack. so many SCA people have a very one dimensional idea of WhatHorsesWore (sheet barding for all occasions, etc). tada! look and learn! :D (and the whole "your paint horse isnt period" thing...meh!)

Yeah, the profusion of black Steuchleins threw me off. I belive the TH mentions other colors for these (and includes an art example of one in red, I think), but I can't see this many *black* Steuchlein in one place. Just doesn't read right.

We are having an equestrian event in the West Kingdom, April 13, 2013 based on this book. Equestrians and a cooks playdate as well, with a potluck in the evening.
I found this post by Googling 'Triumph of Maxmillian'...
