EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, created circa 1835-1840, offers a fascinating glimpse into the elaborate costumes of high-ranking Persian men and women during the 19th century. The Persian Empire, also known as Iran, boasted a rich cultural heritage that extended far beyond its geographical boundaries. The Persian nobility was known for their grandeur and opulence, which was reflected in their clothing. The Persian man depicted in the image wears a long, flowing robe, known as a "pantaloon," which is cinched at the waist with a wide sash. He dons a tall, conical turban adorned with intricate gold and jewel embellishments, a sign of his high rank. His face, with its prominent brow and piercing gaze, exudes a sense of authority and wisdom. The Persian woman, on the other hand, is dressed in a voluminous, floor-length robe, called a "zenne," which is draped over a long under-robe, or "chador." Her headdress, or "rashan," is a complex arrangement of fabric and jewels that covers her hair and falls over her shoulders. Her face is veiled, revealing only her eyes. The intricate physiognomy of both the man and woman, captured in this lithograph, speaks to the unique beauty and diversity of the Persian people. This ethnographic representation of Persian costumes is a valuable historical record, offering insights into the customs and traditions of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on world history. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring of this lithograph further enhances its authenticity and aesthetic appeal.
