EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing hand-colored steel engraving, we find an unusual encounter between a Kalmyk man and a Japanese sumo wrestler. Both figures are depicted with distinctive features that reflect their unique cultural identities. The Kalmyk man, a member of a Mongolian people who have lived in the Volga-Don region since the 17th century, is shown with a swarthy complexion, a full beard, and a traditional Kalmyk topknot called a chonmage. The Japanese sumo wrestler, on the other hand, is depicted in the traditional mawashi loincloth and a large chonmage topknot, as well as a full beard. The scene captures the moment of connection between these two seemingly disparate figures. The Kalmyk man, identified as Eleuth, reaches out to touch the Japanese prizefighter, suggesting a mutual respect and curiosity. This image is taken from Charles Hamilton Smith's Natural History of the Human Species, published in Edinburgh by W. H. Lizars in 1848. Smith was a renowned Scottish artist and ethnologist who traveled extensively to document various races and peoples of the world. His work was groundbreaking in its time, contributing significantly to the field of anthropology and the study of human diversity. The image of the Kalmyk man and Japanese sumo wrestler is a testament to the rich cultural exchanges that have taken place throughout history. It also highlights the importance of documenting and preserving the unique traditions and identities of different communities. The hand-colored steel engraving technique adds a layer of artistry and detail to the image, making it a fascinating and visually captivating representation of these two remarkable figures.
