EDITORS COMMENTS
"This handcolored woodcut print depicts a man from Mardin, a historic city located in southeastern Turkey, proudly wearing traditional attire from the 19th century. The man is dressed in a fur-lined cape, adorned with intricate embroidery, which is draped over his shoulders and secured with a belt. He wears a high, pointed embroidered scarf around his neck, which is also fastened with a belt. The man completes his ensemble with tall, laced boots, perfect for navigating the rugged terrain of the region. Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, is the source of this striking image. Wahlen, a renowned ethnographer and artist, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East to document the diverse customs and traditions of various cultures. This print is a testament to his dedication to preserving the rich heritage of the past. The man's expression is one of quiet confidence and dignity, reflecting the resilient spirit of the people of Mardin. The intricate details of his clothing, from the delicate embroidery to the sturdy boots, speak to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans of the time. This print is a valuable historical record of the traditional fashion and customs of the people of Mardin, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a connection to the rich cultural heritage of Turkey." Jean-François Nicolas Loumyer, a talented artist, likely created the woodcut print based on Wahlen's descriptions and sketches. The use of handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a beautiful and intriguing work of art. This print is a must-have for anyone interested in history, fashion, or the cultures of the Middle East.
