About the Item
Large original antique chromolithograph poster composed of three attached sheets, measuring 162 x 68 cm in total. It features a figure that seems to represent a military figure, standing in full stature. The individual is dressed in a costume that includes a wide-brimmed hat, a jacket, and trousers, with a bandolier of bullets across the chest and holding a rifle. The style of the clothing and the presence of the rifle suggest a late 19th-century to early 20th-century timeframe, possibly relating to a military theme.
The number "179" below the image indicates that this is one print in a series of chromolithographic costume prints. Chromolithography was a method for making multi-color prints, widely used in the 19th century, known for its ability to produce vibrant and detailed images.
Produced by C. Burckhardt's Nachf. in Weissenburg, the timeframe given (between 1889 and 1906) places this work in a period of rich visual culture where such posters were popular for advertising, art, and educational purposes. C. Burckhardt's Nachf. was a printing firm known for such works, and they likely produced a variety of subjects in this format.
The condition description suggests that, while well-preserved for a piece of its size and age, the poster shows signs of wear typical for paper artifacts: rolling and horizontal folds from storage, a loosening portion in the upper right corner, small tears, fraying, and creases along the blank margins, along with some other small imperfections.
This particular poster, being part of a series, would have been one among several that depicted various costumes, likely meant for educational purposes or as a collectible item for those interested in military history or uniforms. The detailed execution in chromolithography would make it a visually striking piece, and its large size suggests it was intended for display.

View AllTraditional 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.

Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Striking 19th-Century Lithograph of a Cochin Soldier by Auguste Wahlen"
