EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a young girl from Sokna, Fezzan, in the Kingdom of Tripoli (Libya) during the 18th-19th century. Dressed in a beautifully striped silk or tulle dress, adorned with silver earrings, bracelets, and leg ornaments, she exudes grace and elegance. The handcoloured woodcut by T. S. and Duverger brings out the vibrant colors and intricate details of her attire. The women of Sokna were known for their impeccable fashion sense, as showcased by this young girl. Her outfit reflects both cultural traditions and personal style choices. The image is part of Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World), published in Brussels in 1845. Wahlen's pseudonym was Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer, an esteemed writer and archivist associated with Belgium's Heraldic Department. His dedication to documenting various cultures shines through this remarkable piece. Brought to life by Florilegius' expert reproduction techniques from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder platform; this print offers a glimpse into history while celebrating the beauty of diversity across nations.
