EDITORS COMMENTS
Cossack Bodyguards of the Line, Kuban, Taman, Detroit de Yeni-Kaleb, October 9, 1837, 1846," is a stunning work of art by the renowned French artist, Auguste Raffet. The image, created through the lithotint technique on ivory wove paper, transports us back in time to the 19th century and the Cossack lands along the shores of the Black Sea. The Cossacks, a group of semi-autonomous military settlers, are depicted here in their traditional attire, standing proudly in a line against the backdrop of a fortress. Their hats, adorned with distinctive plumes, and their long, flowing coats, complete with intricate embroidery and fringes, are a testament to their unique cultural heritage. The direct gaze of the Cossacks as they look at the camera adds a sense of intimacy and authenticity to the scene. The group is gathered outside, perhaps on parade, showcasing their military prowess and readiness for duty. The location, identified as Detroit de Yeni-Kaleb, is believed to be in the Kerch Strait, which separates Russia from Ukraine. This powerful image, with its rich history and intricate detail, is a must-see for anyone interested in 19th-century apparel, art, or military history. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of Auguste Raffet, who masterfully captured the essence of a bygone era." This lithograph is part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is a valuable addition to any art centre, art gallery, or art institute. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and the role that art plays in documenting history.
