About the Item

"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 Cultural Preservation: Prints like this serve not only as artwork but also as historical documents that preserve and share the cultural heritage of regions less known to the Western world at the time.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. Keywords: - Antique Uzbek prints - Handcoloured lithography - 19th-century Central Asian costumes - Auguste Wahlen lithographs - Traditional Bukharan attire - Ethnographic art prints - Collectible cultural lithographs - Historical Uzbek fashion - Asian historical prints - Vintage Uzbek art These keywords would be effective for anyone researching or interested in collecting prints that depict traditional Uzbek attire or seeking insights into the cultural heritage of Central Asia from the 19th century.
