EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored woodcut print depicts an Armenian merchant, elegantly dressed in traditional attire, captured in a moment of quiet reflection. The merchant wears a fur hat, or "furhat," which was a common head covering for Armenian men in the 19th century. The jacket, or "jean," is a long, double-breasted garment with wide lapels, often made of wool or silk. The pantaloons, or "pantoufles," are a type of loose-fitting trousers that were popular among European and Middle Eastern cultures during this time. The merchant's feet are adorned with traditional slippers, or "sabots," which were often made of leather or other materials and were worn as a sign of comfort and luxury. The sash belt, or "ceinture," is a decorative accessory that adds a touch of sophistication to the outfit, securing the jacket and accentuating the waist. This image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. Wahlen, a renowned ethnographer and artist, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East to document the diverse cultures and traditions of the time. This print is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of a people and their customs. The Armenian merchant in this print embodies the rich cultural heritage and national pride that was prevalent in the 19th century. His traditional attire and the intricate details of the woodcut serve as a reminder of the historical significance of this period and the importance of preserving and celebrating the unique customs and traditions of different communities.
