1844 Lithograph of a Bukharan Uzbek: Traditional Attire and Craft
Located in Langweer, NL
"1844 Lithograph of a Bukharan Uzbek: Traditional Attire and Craft"
Description: This 1844 lithograph captures a traditional Bukharan Uzbek man, from the renowned series "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" by Auguste Wahlen.
Published in Paris using the technique of handcoloured lithography, enhanced with Arabic gum on vellin paper, this print vividly portrays the rich cultural attire unique to Bukhara, Uzbekistan.
The man's elaborate robe and distinctive headwear highlight the regional fashion and craftsmanship. The print’s appeal lies in its detailed depiction of historical dress and accessories, offering a window into the cultural diversity of Central Asia. Such prints are treasured for their historical value and intricate artistry, making them highly desirable to collectors and enthusiasts of ethnographic art.
The lithograph depicting a man from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, offers several intriguing cultural and historical insights:
1. Traditional Attire: The attire of the Bukharan man, particularly the elaborate robe and turban, is a rich display of Uzbek textile craftsmanship. Traditional robes, often made from silk and cotton, are adorned with intricate ikat patterns—a dyeing technique where threads are dyed before weaving. This style is emblematic of Uzbekistan's well-known textile industry.
2. Turban Significance: The turban, known locally as a "doppa" or "tubeteika," is more than just practical headwear; it serves as a cultural symbol of status and identity. The style, color, and way it is worn can convey information about the wearer's social status, region, and even his clan affiliations.
3. Historical Context: Bukhara was a pivotal Silk Road city, making it a melting pot of cultures, languages, and religions. The diverse influences are reflected in the traditional clothing, which blends Persian, Turkic, and nomadic styles.
4. Artistic Technique: The use of handcoloured lithography in the 19th century allowed for high-quality, detailed prints that were more accessible to the European public. This technique involved drawing on limestone with a greasy medium, then using water and oil-based ink to print vibrant images, which were then painted by hand.
5. Cultural Preservation: Prints like this serve not only as artwork but also as historical documents that preserve and share the cultural heritage of regions less known to the Western world at the time. They played a crucial role in educating and influencing perceptions about distant cultures during the 19th century.
This print, therefore, is not just a beautiful piece of art but a deep well of cultural history and craftsmanship, reflecting the rich tapestry of life in Central Asia during the 19th century.

Located in Langweer, NL
This hand-colored engraving, titled "Jongleur," portrays a medieval entertainer, a precursor to modern-day musicians and performers. The term "jongleur" denotes a versatile artist commonly seen in medieval courts and public spaces, engaging audiences with music, poetry, and storytelling.

The Stature of a Milanese Noble: An Lithographic Artistic Depiction, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "The Stature of a Milanese Noble: An Artistic Depiction from 'Costume du Moyen Âge'"
Description: This finely detailed lithograph is part of the 1847 seminal work "Costume du Moyen Âge," which portrays a Milanese nobleman, attired in the fashion of the Middle Ages. The nobleman stands in a dignified pose, with a slight turn to the side that suggests movement or the commencement of an address. His garment is a robust, terracotta-hued robe, which falls in heavy folds to the ground, indicating the weight and quality of the fabric. The robe features elegant blue cuffs and a blue collar, which provide a contrast to the warm primary color and are adorned with diamond-shaped embellishments, implying a subtle yet unmistakable wealth.
Atop his head sits a distinctive chapeau with a jaunty feather, adding a touch of personal flair to his ensemble. This hat, along with his full, neatly groomed beard, contributes to the air of wisdom and experience that the nobleman exudes. His expression is one of contemplation and sagacity, with eyes that appear to be observing or assessing the scene before him.
As in other plates from the collection, the background is left intentionally plain, directing the viewer’s focus to the subject and his elaborate attire. This lithograph not only captures the fashion and dignity of a nobleman from Milan but also serves as a cultural and historical record, revealing the meticulous attention to detail in costume design and social hierarchy of the time. The lithograph serves as a visual study of the mores and attire of the period, crafted with reverence for the historical accuracy and an appreciation for the aesthetics of medieval clothing...

Elegant 1844 Lithograph of a Persian Woman in Traditional Attire
Located in Langweer, NL
This handcoloured lithograph titled "Femme Persane" vividly captures the traditional attire of a Persian woman, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and detailed craftsmanship of 19th-century Persia.
The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844 in Paris.
The image stands out for its intricate detailing, especially the veil and robe, which are adorned with elaborate patterns and vibrant colors typical of Persian fashion.
The woman's attire includes a veil that covers the face partially, known as a "ruband," which was commonly worn in public by women in some regions of Persia as a sign of modesty and status. Her robe, layered and colorful, reflects the sophisticated textile techniques of the time, including embroidery and fabric dyeing, which were highly regarded skills in Persian society.
The attractiveness of such prints lies in their ability to convey the elegance and intricacy of Persian women's fashion, providing a window into the everyday life and social customs of the time.
The use of handcoloured lithography, a popular printing technique of the era, allows for vivid coloration and detailed representation, making these prints highly desirable for collectors and enthusiasts of historical fashion and cultural heritage.

Traditional Eleuth Warrior Attire in 1844 Hand-Colored Lithograph
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Traditional Eleuth Warrior Attire in 1844 Lithograph"
Description:
This hand-colored lithograph titled *Eleuthe* (Eleuth) portrays a man from the Eleuth tribe, a subgroup of the Oirat Mongols. The image is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844.
The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen's designs, with notable contributions from artists such as Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King. The lithograph is enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, adding a bright gloss and deepening the colors.
Notable Features of the Attire:
- Helmet: The warrior wears a distinctive helmet, possibly crafted from metal or leather, which suggests a readiness for battle. The helmet design is typical of Mongolian and Central Asian tribes, providing protection while maintaining mobility.
- Coat: The long, fur-lined coat is characteristic of the Eleuths, suited to the cold climates of Central Asia. The coat is intricately patterned, showcasing both practicality and status.
- Sword: The sword hanging by his side is a symbol of his warrior class. The hilt appears to be ornately decorated, hinting at a higher social rank or experience in battle.
Cultural and Historical Insight:
The Eleuth people were part of the broader Oirat confederation of nomadic Mongols who lived in what is now Xinjiang and parts of Central Asia. Their warrior culture was highly developed, and this lithograph captures the essence of a soldier's dress during the 19th century. The attire shown here reflects both the harsh environment and the martial lifestyle that characterized their existence.

Philippe le Bon or The Good, Duke of Burgundy: The Duke's Prestige, 1847
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Philippe le Bon: The Duke's Prestige"
Description: The print showcases Philippe le Bon, also known as Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, standing in a dignified pose that conveys authority and nobility. He was known for his patronage of the arts and the opulence of his court, and this is reflected in the intricate detail of his attire.
Philippe is dressed in a doublet with a patterned design, possibly embroidered with gold thread, which would have been a symbol of wealth and status during his time. The garment fits snugly to his form, a style that was fashionable among the nobility in the 15th century. The lower part of the doublet extends into a skirt, which is edged with fur, adding to the luxuriousness of his ensemble.
He wears hose that fit tightly to his legs, a common fashion of the time, which are practical for riding and daily activities of a nobleman. His shoes are pointed, following the style of the Burgundian court.
On his head, Philippe sports a chaperon, a type of headgear that was popular among men of rank. The chaperon features a rolled brim and an extended tail, known as a 'liripipe', which adds a distinctive flair to his profile.
Around his neck, he has a chain, from which hangs a badge or medallion, denoting his high rank and perhaps an order of chivalry. His right hand rests on the hilt of a dagger, hinting at the martial aspect of his role as a duke and the necessity for self...

Circassian and Imeretian Princes in Traditional Attire, 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title:"Circassian and Imeretian Princes in Traditional Attire, 1844 Lithographs"
This horizontal compilation features two lithographs from Auguste Wahlen's 1844 series, "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," depicting princes from Circassia and Imeretia in traditional attire.
These prints, made using handcoloured lithography, highlight the distinctive cultural dress and accessories of these regions in Asia.
The Circassian prince is adorned in a decorative military-style outfit, complete with armor and a bow, symbolizing his warrior status. The Imeretian prince's attire is similarly martial but incorporates more vivid colors and a less formal style, reflecting the different ceremonial and functional aspects of his region's attire.
The attractiveness of these prints lies in their vibrant coloration and meticulous detail, which not only make them visually striking but also serve as valuable historical records of cultural heritage and traditional dress. The technique of handcoloured lithography allows for precise detail and rich hues, enhancing the visual impact and historical authenticity of each figure.

Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs"
Description:
This hand-colored lithograph, titled *Jeune Fille Arabe* (Young Arab Girl), is from the Asia volume of Auguste Wahlen’s "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844.
The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen’s work, with artists like Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King contributing to the collection.
Enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, the lithograph offers a striking representation of an Arabian woman in traditional attire, including a striped dress, animal-print shawl, and ornate jewelry.
Cultural and Artistic Insight:
The subject's attire reflects a blend of practical clothing and decorative elements, such as the striped fabric and the leopard-patterned wrap. Her jewelry, including bracelets and a headpiece, highlights her status or cultural identity. The presence of a background with tropical trees and village buildings suggests that this scene might depict a coastal or rural area, where both traditional and more exotic elements are incorporated into daily life.
Attractiveness:
The vivid hand-coloring, along with the detailed rendering of fabric patterns and accessories, makes this print particularly appealing. The glossy finish provided by the Arabic gum adds depth to the colors, giving the illustration a luminous quality. The juxtaposition of traditional Arabian dress...
