About the Item
These original antique images are hand-colored and from the publication "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Russians," which includes sixty-four colored engravings with descriptions. The writer of this work is William Alexander, and it was published by John Murray in 1814. This work aimed to illustrate and describe the traditional dress and customs of various Russian peoples, including indigenous groups, at the beginning of the 19th century. It serves as an important historical record of cultural attire and practices of that era. The detailed colored engravings were a common method of such documentation in a time before photography, intended to provide the Western audience with a visual account of distant cultures.
The engravings presented show a deep dive into the cultural tapestry of early 19th century Russia through the lens of traditional attire and customs.
The first engraving depicts a Barabinzian woman, likely from the Siberian steppe, characterized by her distinctive, layered clothing with a patterned dress and a strikingly colored headwrap which indicates the unique styles that were prevalent among the indigenous Barabinzian people. The second engraving portrays a Mestcherakian individual, where the clothing might reflect a combination of functional needs for a nomadic lifestyle as well as the aesthetic preferences unique to the Mestcherakian culture. The clothing is practical yet distinct, with bold colors that might signify social status or regional variations.
The final engraving illustrates a Russian peasant, which provides insights into the everyday life and labor of the rural population. His attire is utilitarian and robust, suitable for the manual work and harsh conditions, exemplified by the sturdy footwear and the heavy coat. The tool he carries indicates his labor-intensive lifestyle.
All three engravings from William Alexander's "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Russians" are meticulously detailed, highlighting not only the clothing but also the postures and accessories that speak to the customs and daily activities of these groups. These images provide a significant contribution to the visual historiography of Russia's diverse cultures, embodying the complexities of their societal structures and the variances in their regional clothing. They serve as a valuable historical record, enabling contemporary audiences to glimpse the rich tapestry of life and society in Russia during this era.
