EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, showcases an authentic moment in the daily life of the Kalmyk people in the mid-19th century. The image portrays a group of Kalmyk men engaged in a traditional wrestling match, surrounded by their families and ghers, which are large, felt-covered tents used as temporary dwellings during their nomadic journeys. The Kalmyks are a Mongolian people who inhabited the northern Caucasus region of Russia. They were known for their distinctive culture, which combined Mongolian and Buddhist influences. Wrestling was an essential part of their physical and social life, and matches were often held in front of their families and communities. In the image, the wrestlers wear traditional Kalmyk costumes, including long, flowing robes and high, felt boots. Some of them are mounted on horseback, while others are on foot, ready to engage in the wrestling match. Their families and ghers are in the background, providing a sense of the community and support that surrounded these men during their competitions. This lithograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and customs of the Kalmyk people during a time when their traditional way of life was undergoing significant changes due to Russian influence. Ethnographers and anthropologists have long been drawn to images like this one, which provide valuable insights into the history, people, and cultures of the world.
