This handcolored woodcut print, titled "Kamtchadal Family with Man in Hooded Coat," is an intriguing glimpse into the traditional customs and fashion of the Kamtchadal people, a indigenous community residing in the far eastern part of Siberia, Russia. The image, taken from Auguste Wahlen's seminal work "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845, showcases a Kamtchadal family consisting of a man in a hooded coat, a woman with tattoos and fur bodysuit, and a child. The man, dressed in a voluminous hooded coat made of animal fur, wears a jean-like pant beneath it. His face is obscured by the hood, adding an air of mystery to the image. The woman, adorned with intricate tattoos on her face and body, dons a fur bodysuit, accentuated by a belt and a pair of high boots. Her long, flowing hair is styled in braids, a common practice among Kamtchadal women. The child, wrapped in a fur robe, gazes curiously at the viewer, offering a glimpse into the warmth and love of this close-knit family. This woodcut print, created in the 19th century, offers a fascinating window into the history and culture of the Kamtchadal people. Their unique fashion, characterized by the use of animal fur and intricate tattoos, reflects their connection to the natural world and their rich, vibrant heritage. The image also highlights the importance of family and community in Kamtchadal society, as evidenced by the loving gaze exchanged between the parents and their child. Overall, this print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the world's many cultures and traditions.
