EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print depicts a Georgian woman adorned in traditional attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Caucasus region. The woman wears a grand headdress, topped with a conical shape adorned with intricate embroidery and a cascading veil. Her neck is adorned with a beautiful pearl necklace, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to her ensemble. The long, flowing dress she wears is adorned with intricate floral patterns and a sash belt, cinching her waist and accentuating her figure. The miniature book in her hand suggests her literacy and education, a valued attribute in Georgian society. This print is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. The work was a popular and influential publication during the 19th century, documenting the traditional fashion and customs of various ethnic groups around the world. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, the artist behind this woodcut, expertly captured the essence of Georgian fashion and tradition, providing a glimpse into the past and the unique cultural identity of this historic region. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this print make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical fashion or cultural art.
