Traditional Siamese Attire: A 19th Century Ethnographic Portrait from Thailand

About the Item

Title: "Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph of a Siamese Man by Auguste Wahlen" Description: This handcolored lithograph from Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners and Dress of All the Peoples of the World) features a Siamese man dressed in traditional attire. The print showcases the individual in vibrant colors, donning a distinctive pointed hat and ornate pants, with a palm plant in the background. Created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen's design, this lithograph was published in Paris by Poiree, Pilout, Duterte, and Martinon in 1843. The technique used, handcolored lithography, enhances the visual appeal, bringing life and depth to the portrayal. These prints captivate viewers with their detailed and colorful representation of cultural attire from around the world, providing a window into the diversity of global traditions in the mid-19th century. Keywords: 19th-century lithographs, handcolored prints, traditional Siamese clothing, historical ethnic dress, Auguste Wahlen, antique ethnographic prints, collector's item, lithography art, cultural heritage prints
