About the Item

Title: "Japanese Cavalryman and General from 1844 in Wahlen's Historical Lithographs" Description: These hand-colored lithographs feature a *Cavalier Japonais* (Japanese Cavalryman) and *General Japonais* (Japanese General) on horseback. These prints are from the 1844 Asia volume 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). The prints were created using hand-colored lithography on vellum paper, enhanced with Arabic gum to give the colors a vibrant, glossy finish. Notable Features: - Cavalier Japonais: The cavalryman is shown riding at a gallop, wearing traditional armor with distinct layered garments. His swift movement conveys the dynamic nature of mounted Japanese warriors. - General Japonais: The general is depicted in a commanding pose on horseback, adorned in more elaborate and decorative attire, symbolizing his higher rank and authority. Attractiveness: The prints are highly attractive due to their intricate detailing of the horses' tack, the flowing garments, and the vivid hand-coloring that brings the scene to life. The use of motion in the cavalryman’s pose adds a sense of action, while the general’s poised stance conveys authority, making the images visually engaging and historically informative. Keywords for Searching: For those looking to explore similar prints, useful keywords include "Wahlen Japanese cavalry lithographs," "1844 Japanese general print," "traditional Japanese dress lithography," "19th-century hand-colored prints," and "Japanese warrior lithographs." These terms can help collectors and historians find relevant artworks and cultural depictions from the 19th century.
