EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing handcoloured steel engraving by Lizars after an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, we find ourselves witnessing an encounter between a Chinese man and a Nogai Tatar man, both representatives of distinct Mongolic races. The Chinese man is depicted with a long pigtail, a traditional hairstyle that was once common among Chinese men, particularly during the Qing Dynasty. He wears a robe with wide sleeves and a sash around his waist, typical of the clothing worn during that era. The Nogai Tatar man, on the other hand, is a member of the Nogai Horde, a group of Tatars who lived in the northern Caucasus region. He is shown wearing a fur hat, a long coat, and trousers, reflecting the nomadic lifestyle of his people. The Nogai Tatars were known for their horsemanship and military prowess, and they played an important role in the history of the region, particularly during the Mongol invasions of Eastern Europe. This image is taken from Charles Hamilton Smith's Natural History of the Human Species, published in Edinburgh by W. H. Lizars in 1848. Smith was a Scottish artist, ethnologist, and naturalist, who travelled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa to study and document the various peoples and cultures he encountered. His work was influential in the field of ethnology, and this print is a testament to his dedication to recording the diversity of human races and cultures. The handcoloured steel engraving technique used in this print adds a level of detail and vibrancy to the image, making it a striking and visually appealing representation of these two distinct Mongolic races. The contrast between the Chinese man's traditional clothing and the Nogai Tatar man's nomadic attire highlights the rich cultural diversity that existed during the 19th century, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique traditions and histories of different peoples and communities.
