EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print captures the image of a Soldier of Cochinchine, a region in modern-day Vietnam, during the 19th century. The soldier is depicted carrying a musket, a common firearm during that era, with a determined expression on his face. He wears a tall, conical helmet adorned with a plume, adding a regal touch to his military attire. The soldier's tunic is made of a rich fabric, likely cotton, and is decorated with intricate patterns and national insignia. His breeches are also made of the same fabric and are tucked into high boots. The Soldier of Cochinchine's appearance reflects the unique customs and manners of the people of the region during that time. The plume on his helmet and the elaborate design of his tunic and breeches are traditional elements of the national fashion. Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, a renowned French artist, created this image as part of Auguste Wahlens' "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," a comprehensive collection of ethnographic illustrations published in Brussels in 1845. The print offers a glimpse into the historical fashion and military traditions of Cochinchine during the 19th century.
