EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print depicts a man from Bukhara, an ancient city located in present-day Uzbekistan. Dressed in traditional attire, he wears a tall, conical turban adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, which is a symbol of his cultural heritage. The man's cloak, or khalat, is draped over his shoulders, fastened with a sash belt, or zungha. The tunic, or qipchaq, he wears is long and flowing, reaching down to his ankles. The man completes his ensemble with a pair of red boots, or gulabchis, which are a common footwear choice in Central Asia. This image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, a French artist, likely created the original illustration. The print showcases the rich and diverse fashion traditions of the people of Bukhara during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of a fascinating region. The man's expression is calm and serene, reflecting the peaceful and resilient spirit of the people of Bukhara. His clothing, with its intricate designs and bold colors, is a testament to the unique artistic traditions of Central Asia. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable historical record of the customs and fashion of the past.
