EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Herald of Franconia, or Herold der frankische, proudly donning an armorial tunic adorned with the Franconian rake coat of arms. The Herald, a heraldic officer, is a significant figure in Franconian heraldry, representing the historical region of Franconia in present-day Bavaria, Germany. The intricately designed tunic showcases the Franconian rake coat of arms, which is characterized by a golden rake with its prongs facing downwards, set against a red background. The rake is an emblematic symbol of the region, believed to represent the agricultural heritage and fertile soil of Franconia. This beautiful print is a contribution from Otto Watzelberger's seminal work, "Beitraege zum Formenschatz der Heraldik" (Contributions to the Vocabulary of Heraldry), published in Munich in 1900 by Theodor Ackermann. Watzelberger, who was the Secretary of the Royal Bavarian House Equestrian Order of Saint George, dedicated his life to the study and documentation of heraldic symbols and their historical significance. This chromolithograph is a testament to his extensive research and passion for heraldry. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print make it a stunning addition to any collection of heraldic art or historical iconography. The Herald of Franconia stands as a proud symbol of the region's rich history and agricultural heritage, making this print a fascinating and evocative piece for anyone interested in heraldry, history, or the iconography of Franconia.
