EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcolored lithograph captures the striking contrast between two soldiers from different ethnic groups in the Middle East during the early 19th century. On the left stands a Turkoman soldier, dressed in traditional attire, brandishing a curved sword. The Turkoman people were a collection of nomadic tribes that inhabited a vast region stretching from Central Asia to the eastern Mediterranean. They were renowned for their horsemanship, archery skills, and warrior culture. The soldier's headdress is adorned with intricate designs, and he wears a long coat and trousers, both decorated with geometric patterns. On the right, a Kurd soldier is depicted with a club and a shield. The Kurds are an ethno-linguistic group that has inhabited the mountainous regions of the Middle East for thousands of years. They have a rich cultural heritage, with their own distinct language, customs, and traditions. The soldier's clothing consists of a simple tunic and a pair of loose-fitting trousers. He holds a large wooden club, which was a common weapon used by the Kurds in their battles against their enemies. The background of the print features the iconic Hagia Sophia Orthodox Church in Istanbul, Turkey. The church, which was built in the 6th century, is a symbol of the region's rich history and cultural diversity. The lithograph is part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, a comprehensive ethnographic and anthropological record of the diverse populations of Europe, Asia, and Africa during the 19th century. This fascinating image offers a unique glimpse into the customs, costumes, and weapons of two distinct military groups in the Middle East during a period of significant historical change.
