EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print depicts a Yakut woman, a native inhabitant of the Sakha Republic in Siberia, Russia, adorned in traditional attire. The woman wears a fur-lined coat, a vital element of Yakutian clothing, which provides warmth against the harsh Siberian winter. The coat is intricately decorated with beads, adding a touch of beauty and elegance to the practical piece. Hanging from her ears are large, ornate earrings, another essential component of Yakutian jewelry. These earrings, like the coat, are adorned with beads, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into each piece. This image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. Wahlen, a French artist, traveled extensively throughout Europe and Asia, documenting the diverse customs and traditions of various ethnic groups. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Yakut people and provides a glimpse into their history and traditions during the 19th century. The woman's portrait exudes a sense of pride and strength, reflecting the resilience and adaptability of the Yakut people in the face of the challenging climate and conditions. The intricate beadwork and fur-lined coat serve not only as functional items but also as symbols of their unique identity and connection to their ancestral land. This print is a valuable historical record of the traditional fashion and customs of the Yakut people, providing insight into their culture and history.
