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.

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
