EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Costumes of Tripoli, Libya," showcases the traditional attire of individuals from the city of Tripoli during the early to mid-19th century. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, offers a rare glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of North Africa. At the center of the composition, a woman dressed in a burqa and veil sits gracefully on a plush cushion. The burqa, a full-body garment covering the entire body except for a mesh grille for the eyes, was a common attire for women in Tripoli during this time. The veil, which covers the woman's head and face, adds an additional layer of modesty. To the woman's right, a man wearing a turban and traditional robes is depicted. The turban, a head covering worn in various forms across the Middle East and North Africa, is a symbol of cultural identity for many people in the region. The man's robe, which reaches down to his ankles, is adorned with intricate patterns and colors, reflecting the artistic traditions of the time. This ethnographic image, which dates back to the mid-1800s, offers a valuable insight into the customs and costumes of Tripoli and its people during a time when European exploration and colonization were shaping the region. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the lithograph, bringing the subjects and their surroundings to life. The Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published by Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche, was a groundbreaking work that documented the diverse peoples and cultures of the world. This image, in particular, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and traditions of Tripoli and Libya, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of North Africa.
