1. Title: "A Koryak Man in Traditional Attire: A Portrait from the 19th Century" This handcolored woodcut depicts a Koryak man, an indigenous people from the eastern part of the Russian Far East, clad in traditional fur-lined clothing and holding a cudgel. The image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's renowned publication, "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. The man is shown wearing a fur-lined hat, which is a distinctive feature of Koryak traditional headwear. The hat is adorned with intricate designs and feathers, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Koryak people. He is also wearing a long, fur-lined coat and trousers, which provide warmth in the harsh Siberian climate. The man's laced stockings and cudgel add to the authenticity of the portrait. The Koryak people have a long and complex history, with a rich cultural heritage that includes a unique language, traditional beliefs, and a strong connection to the land and the sea. They are known for their skilled hunting and fishing techniques, which have allowed them to thrive in the challenging environment of the Russian Far East. This woodcut is a valuable historical record of the Koryak people and their traditional attire. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering insights into the daily life and customs of a people who have lived in the region for centuries. The intricate details of the man's clothing and accessories, as well as the vivid colors used in the handcoloring, make this a visually stunning and informative image. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, the artist behind this woodcut, captured the essence of the Koryak man's strength and resilience, making this a truly captivating and timeless portrait. This image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Koryak people and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diversity of human cultures.
