About the Item

This image depicts an inhabitant of Mount Lebanon, as indicated by the caption "Habitant du Mont Liban (Asie)". The illustration is likely from the 19th century and showcases the traditional attire of that region and period. The individual is wearing a colorful headscarf or turban, which was commonly worn by men in the Middle East, signifying cultural identity. The headscarf is patterned with a mix of stripes and possibly other intricate designs. He is also wearing a long, flowing outer robe that is white and appears to be lightweight, suitable for the region's climate. Around his waist, there is a sash or belt, and he wears a knee-length tunic underneath, which is a different color than the outer robe, creating a contrast. The tunic is adorned with horizontal stripes near the hem. On his feet, there are traditional shoes that could be a form of slip-on, likely made of leather. In one hand, he carries what appears to be a spear or a staff with a feathered end, which may indicate a status symbol or serve a practical purpose. His other hand is extended outward, and he holds an object that seems ornamental or possibly a tool or weapon, adding to the overall presentation of his status or role within his community. The illustration is finely detailed, with attention to the draping of the fabrics and the patterns on the garments, indicative of the intricate craftsmanship of the region's traditional clothing. This image would have served as an ethnographic representation, aiming to depict the clothing, tools, and aesthetic choices characteristic of the inhabitants of Mount Lebanon during the time of its creation. The work is attributed to Auguste Wahlen, who was known for his depictions of customs, manners, and costumes from around the world.
