About the Item
Antique print titled 'Malais (Océanie)'. Hand colored woodcut of a Malay man of Singapore. He wears a bandana, long-sleeved jacket, pants and belt.
Step into the vibrant world of cultural portrayal with the antique print titled 'Malais (Océanie)'. This hand-colored woodcut, extracted from Auguste Wahlen's revered work, "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs, and Costumes of all the People of the World), published in 1845, unveils a captivating depiction of a Malay man hailing from Singapore.
In this exquisite portrayal, the Malay man's attire comes alive with intricate details: a bandana adorns his head, while a long-sleeved jacket and pants, meticulously depicted, reflect the fashion sensibilities of his cultural heritage. His attire is elegantly complemented by a distinct belt, adding a touch of authenticity to the ensemble.
The hand-colored woodcut, a testament to the artistic prowess of the era, captures not just the physical appearance but also the essence of cultural identity. Each stroke of color and line intricately etched into the woodcut brings forth the dignity and individuality of the Malay man, offering a window into the rich tapestry of Oceania's diverse populace.
This print is not merely a visual spectacle but a cherished piece of historical documentation, preserving the nuanced details of attire and customs from an era long past. For collectors, historians, and enthusiasts of cultural heritage, it stands as an invaluable artifact, encapsulating the artistry, traditions, and distinctive attire of the Malay people from Singapore.
As an embodiment of Wahlen's comprehensive exploration of global cultures, this antique print transcends time, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty and intricacies of the Malay man's attire while honoring the rich diversity and heritage of Oceania's cultural mosaic.
