EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giarre and Stanghi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, offers a fascinating glimpse into the opulent world of Hungarian lords during the 18th century. The image showcases a group of noblemen dressed in the traditional Hungarian hussar uniforms, complete with fur-trimmed pelisses and sashes adorned with the insignia of the prestigious Order of St. Stephen. The Order of St. Stephen, established in 1000 AD, is Hungary's oldest and most revered chivalric order. Its members were the country's most esteemed nobles, and they were entitled to wear the distinctive red and white cross on their uniforms. The hussar uniform itself was a symbol of military prowess and national pride. The hussars were renowned for their horsemanship and tactical skills, making them an essential part of the Hungarian military. The lords in the engraving are depicted with fur-lined pelisses, which were a common addition to the hussar uniform during the colder months. These pelisses were often made from the furs of bears, sable, or other luxurious animals. The combination of the military uniform and the furs not only served a practical purpose but also emphasized the wealth and status of the wearer. This historical illustration provides a unique insight into the grandeur and splendour of the Hungarian nobility during the 18th century. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Hungary and the significance of its military traditions.
