EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcolored woodcut print captures the image of a Circassian man, dressed in traditional attire and armed with a musket and curved sword. The man wears a helmet adorned with intricate designs and a chainmail tunic, both protective elements in Circassian warrior culture. The tunic is accompanied by a skirt made of platemail armor, which covers his forearms and shins for additional defense. The musket, a common firearm during the 19th century, is slung over his shoulder, while the curved sword is held in his right hand. The Circassian people, originally from the Northwestern Caucasus region, were known for their fierce resistance to foreign invasion and their distinctive traditional dress. This print, taken from Auguste Wahlens "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, provides a glimpse into the historical fashion and customs of the Circassian people during this time. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, the artist, expertly captured the details of the man's attire and the textures of the armor, creating a visually stunning and informative piece of historical documentation.
