Doc - Boots

Despite their popularity with 21st century Renaissance enthusiasts, knee and thigh-high boots were fairly rare in the 16th century, restricted to mostly men on horseback. This board is for documenting those rare instances of images and extant examples of high boots, Kuhmal, or Kuhmund style boots. For ankle boots, see my Schuhe (shoe) board.

an old drawing of men in medieval costumes
1521 - Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/1498–1543) The Humiliation of Emperor Valerian by Shapur, King of Persia. Holbein drew this as a design for his murals for the Council Chamber of the Town Hall in Basel. Apart from a few fragments, the murals themselves are now lost. This drawing comes from the first phase of Holbein's work on the project, when classical narratives were used to remind councillors of the need for good government and warn against the abuse of power.
