EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print, titled "Persian Bombardier," is an intriguing glimpse into the historical customs and traditions of the 19th century Persian world. The image, taken from Auguste Wahlen's renowned publication "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, showcases a Persian bombardier, an artilleryman specialized in firing large caliber cannons, mounted on the hump of a camel. The bombardier, dressed in a fur-lined jacket and pantalons, wears a distinctive turban, or furhat, adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. His attire is completed with a jean jacket and a pair of trousers, both featuring traditional Persian designs. The bombardier's focus is on the cannon, which is skillfully mounted on the saddle of the camel. The cannon, with its intricate details and ornate decorations, is a testament to the advanced military technology of the time. The woodcut print, created by the skilled hands of Jean-François Nicolas Loumyer, masterfully captures the essence of the Persian culture and the daily life of its people during the 19th century. The image provides a unique perspective into the rich history and traditions of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on the world. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast.
