About the Item

"Indostan People's Traditional Attire Depicted in Auguste Wahlen's 19th Century Prints" This lithograph represents a man from the common people of Hindustan, captured in his traditional attire, featuring a simple turban, a short beaded necklace, and knee-length trousers, along with a sash tied around his waist. The figure exudes a sense of simplicity and cultural authenticity, standing barefoot with a humble background of a rural hut. This print is a part of Auguste Wahlen’s famous ethnographic work *"Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde"* (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1843. The lithograph technique was used to create this image, a method where the artist uses a grease-based medium to draw on a flat surface, transferring the design through a chemical process. The result is a highly detailed, vivid print that showcases traditional clothing and everyday life with accuracy. The intricate hand-colored details make the subject feel alive, enhancing the lithograph’s attractiveness. Attraction of the Prints: These prints are attractive due to their rich historical value, ethnographic accuracy, and vibrant colors. The simple, yet dignified depiction of traditional dress paired with the lithograph's fine detail invites viewers into a world of cultural discovery. The combination of natural postures and the harmony between clothing and scenery enriches the viewer’s experience of distant lands.
