EDITORS COMMENTS
In this handcolored woodcut, a Tatar woman from Tomsk, Siberia, proudly dons her traditional attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Tatars in the 19th century. The woman wears a long, flowing headress adorned with intricate beadwork and delicate fringes, which cascades down her back. The headpiece is complemented by a fur-lined cape, fastened at the neck with a brooch, and a long, fur-trimmed coat. Beneath the coat, she wears a long, ankle-length dress made of heavy fabric, which is also trimmed with fur. The Tatars are an indigenous people of the Volga region in Eastern Europe and Western Asia, with a significant population in Siberia. Their history is deeply intertwined with the history of Russia, as they have been influenced by various cultural forces throughout the centuries. This woodcut, taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, offers a glimpse into the traditional fashion and customs of the Tatar people during this period. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, the artist behind this woodcut, skillfully captures the essence of the Tatar woman's regal presence, as she gazes directly at the viewer with a confident and proud expression. The intricate details of her attire, from the beadwork on her headpiece to the fur trim on her coat, are rendered with meticulous care, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Tatars. This woodcut is a valuable historical record of the traditional fashion and customs of the Tatars in Tomsk, Siberia, during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the Tatar people's cultural heritage.
