1. Title: A Georgian Merchant and His Circassian and Ingush Customers at a Store, circa 1835-1840 This handcolored lithograph, titled "Georgian Merchant and His Circassian and Ingush Customers at a Store," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen, Germany, around 1835-1840. The image showcases a Georgian merchant, dressed in traditional Georgian attire, standing proudly behind a well-stocked store counter. His customers, both Circassian and Ingush men, are engaged in animated conversation while examining various goods. The Circassian man, wearing a blue tunic, red trousers, and a red fez, holds a large bag, while the Ingush man, clad in a long, red robe and a white headdress, looks intently at the merchandise. The intricate details of this lithograph provide a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of these distinct ethnic groups during the 19th century. The Georgian merchant's store, filled with an array of textiles, household items, and foodstuffs, serves as a vital connection point between the various communities. The handcolored lithograph technique employed in this artwork adds a layer of richness and depth to the image, making it a valuable historical document and an essential resource for scholars of anthropology, ethnography, and cultural history. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail bring the people and their customs to life, offering a window into the past that continues to captivate and inspire. This image not only showcases the diverse cultural landscape of the time but also highlights the importance of trade and commerce in connecting different communities and fostering cultural exchange. The Georgian Merchant and His Circassian and Ingush Customers at a Store is a testament to the richness and complexity of human history and the enduring value of ethnographic documentation.
