About the Item
Etching and engraving entitled 'A Grandee of Circassia arrayed with his full accoutrements and a Circassian of the lower class, in his shaggy cloak, called Burki'. Lettered 'Geissler delt. Grainger sculp.'.
This etching, crafted around 1800 by the artist Geissler and engraved by Grainger, presents a striking depiction of a Circassian noble, known as a Grandee, in full traditional attire and a commoner dressed in a shaggy cloak called a Burki. The detailed illustration contrasts the societal ranks within Circassia through the lens of attire, capturing the grandeur of a high-ranking individual alongside the simplicity of lower-class garb. This work offers a window into the cultural and social stratifications of early 19th-century Circassia.
The individuals depicted in the engraving are from Circassia, a region in the Caucasus. The term "Circassian" typically refers to the indigenous peoples of this area, which include various tribes such as the Adyghe. The grandee would likely belong to one of the noble tribes, while the man in the burki, a lower-class garment, would be from a common tribe within the Circassian ethnic group.

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.
