EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of two Kamtchadal women from Kamchatka, Russia, as depicted in a handcoloured woodcut from "Moeurs, Uses et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde, Asie," by Auguste Wahlen. The intricate details of their traditional attire are beautifully showcased - one woman is adorned in a fur lined dress while the other wears an elaborate headdress.
The rich cultural heritage and unique fashion sense of these women are evident in their portraits, offering a glimpse into the customs and traditions of the Kamchatka region. The meticulous handcolouring adds depth and vibrancy to the woodcut, bringing these women to life on paper.
As we admire this historical artwork, we are transported back to Brussels in 1845 when Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer created this masterpiece under his pseudonym Auguste Wahlen. The Librairie Historique Artistique has preserved these portraits for generations to come, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of different cultures around the world.
Let us take a moment to appreciate the resilience and strength reflected in these Kamtchadal women's eyes as they proudly showcase their heritage through their attire. This print serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural identities and celebrating our differences with pride.
