EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts the Herald of Old Bavaria, or Herold der altbavarische, proudly showcasing the rich heraldic traditions of the historic region of Bavaria. The herald wears an intricately designed armorial tunic, adorned with the distinctive silver and blue lozenges that have long symbolized the Bavarian identity. In his right hand, he holds an escutcheon bearing the Palatine lion and the Bavarian arms, symbolizing the unity of the Palatinate and Bavaria. The Palatine lion, a powerful and majestic creature, is a nod to the historical connection between the two regions. The herald's crest, perched atop his helmet, features a mace as its top ornament, adding an air of authority and tradition to his regal appearance. This stunning image is a contribution from the esteemed heraldist Otto Watzelberger, who served as Secretary of the Royal Bavarian House Equestrian Order of Saint George. The illustration is taken from his seminal work, Beitraege zum Formenschatz der Heraldik (Contributions to the Vocabulary of Heraldry), published in Munich in 1900 by Theodor Ackermann. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of this chromolithograph serve as a testament to the enduring allure and importance of heraldic symbols in the history and culture of Bavaria.
