1. Title: A Tatar Family from Kazan: A 19th-Century Portrait of Traditional Fashion and Customs This evocative handcolored woodcut, titled "A Tatar Family from Kazan," is an intriguing glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Tatars, an ethnic group predominantly residing in Russia and Central Asia. The image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's renowned publication, "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. In the foreground, the man of the family, dressed in a fur hat (Furhat) and a lined coat (Jean), is shown in an intense concentration as he prepares to fire a musket. His determined expression and the smoke billowing from the barrel of the weapon suggest a hunting scene or military training. The man's traditional attire, with its practical design and warm, protective fur, reflects the harsh climate and nomadic lifestyle of the Tatars. Behind the man, a woman in a long, flowing coat (Coat) cradles a young child. Her delicate features, covered by a veil, and the child's curious expression create a tender and nurturing contrast to the man's powerful presence. The family's shared connection and the warmth of their home are palpable, despite the distance created by the woodcut medium. This image offers a rare window into the national traditions and customs of the Tatar people during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the diverse and complex history that continues to shape the world today.
