EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Mountain Tatars of the Caucasus Mountains - A Snapshot of Traditional Life in the 19th Century This handcolored lithograph, titled "Mountain Tatars from the Caucasus Mountains," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published by Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche between 1835 and 1840. The image offers a rare glimpse into the daily life and customs of the Mountain Tatars, an ethnic group residing in the rugged and picturesque Caucasus Mountains. The Mountain Tatars are depicted in their traditional attire, which includes baggy pantaloons, long coats, and distinctive headgear. The men are shown carrying essential items such as pipes, walking sticks, and daggers. The pipe, a symbol of hospitality and friendship, is held in one hand, while the other hand cradles a walking stick. The dagger, a necessary tool for self-defense in the mountainous terrain, is worn in a decorative sheath attached to their belts. The Mountain Tatars were known for their skill in agriculture, animal husbandry, and weaving. Their unique culture was shaped by their geographical isolation and the challenging environment of the Caucasus Mountains. This lithograph not only captures the essence of their traditional appearance but also highlights their connection to the land and their way of life. The intricate details in this handcolored lithograph, such as the intricate patterns on their clothing and the textures of the landscape, make it a valuable addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of peoples and their customs. This image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and intrigue us today.
