EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Malay man of Singapore" captures the essence of a 19th-century Malay man from Singapore. The image showcases his traditional attire, consisting of a bandana, long-sleeved jacket, pants, and belt. This handcoloured woodcut was created by the Belgian School and is part of Auguste Wahlens' renowned collection "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World). The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every color and pattern on the clothing comes to life through vibrant hues. It offers us a glimpse into the fashion trends prevalent during that era. Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer, known under his pseudonym Auguste Wahlens, meticulously documented various cultures worldwide as an archivist with Belgium's Heraldic Department. His work not only showcased different costumes but also shed light on manners and customs across diverse societies. This print takes us back in time to witness the rich cultural heritage of Singapore's Malay community. It serves as a reminder that fashion has always been an integral part of human expression throughout history. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection for art enthusiasts who appreciate historical significance captured through stunning visuals.
