EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Javan man in war dress" transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Java. The image showcases a Javanese man adorned in traditional attire fit for battle. His outfit consists of chelana (pantaloons), sikapan (jacket), kotan and sangsang (vests), ang ger (belt), pedang (sword), and kris (dagger). Every element of his ensemble exudes elegance and power. The handcoloured woodcut, created by A. Vangauberghe after William Daniell's painting, draws inspiration from Sir Thomas Raffles' History of Java published in 1824. This particular rendition was featured in Auguste Wahlens' Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde, showcasing the diverse customs and costumes across different cultures. Through this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to the bustling streets of Java as we witness this warrior preparing for battle. The attention to detail is impeccable - from the intricate patterns on his garments to the sharpness of his weapons. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into Indonesian history and culture. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our traditions and appreciating the beauty found within different societies around the world. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance.
