EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print, taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, showcases a Persian man dressed in traditional attire. The man wears a fur hat, adorned with intricate designs, and a long, fur-lined jacket. Beneath the jacket, he dons a tunic with wide, flowing sleeves, adding to the voluminous layers of his outfit. In one hand, he carries a cudgel, a sturdy club used for self-defense or as a symbol of authority. In the other, he holds a dagger, a common weapon carried for protection in Persian culture during the 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, bringing the man's clothing and accessories to life. The rich, earthy tones of the fur and the bold lines of the man's features create a striking contrast against the muted background. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, the artist behind this print, captured the essence of Persian fashion and tradition during this period. The man's attire reflects the national customs and the harsh climate of the region, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the Persian people. This print offers a glimpse into the historical context of Persian fashion and culture during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich and diverse heritage that continues to influence contemporary fashion and art. The image is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical document, providing insight into the lives and traditions of the people of Persia during this time.
