EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Moldavian Prince and Princess" is an exquisite depiction taken from Jean Baptiste Joseph Bretons' comprehensive work, "La Russie: ou, moeurs, usage et costumes des habitans de toutes les provinces de cet empire" (Russia: or, customs, usage and costumes of the inhabitants of all the provinces of this empire), published in 1813. The illustration offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and social grace of the Moldavian royalty during the Napoleonic era. The Moldavian Prince, elegantly dressed in a long, richly embroidered robe adorned with intricate gold and silver thread, holds a lute-like stringed instrument. His regal bearing and intense gaze convey a sense of authority and wisdom. The Princess, equally resplendent in a flowing, ornate gown and elaborate headdress, gazes demurely at her husband, her delicate hands adorned with intricate jewelry. The illustration provides a fascinating window into the rich cultural heritage of Moldavia, a historical region in Eastern Europe that was part of the Russian Empire during this period. The intricate details of their traditional costumes, the elegance of their posture, and the warmth of their connection to each other offer a captivating glimpse into the social customs and daily life of the Moldavian aristocracy during the early 19th century. Bretons' work, which documented the costumes, social life, and customs of the inhabitants of all the provinces of the Russian Empire, was a groundbreaking achievement in ethnographic research, showcasing the diverse and vibrant cultural traditions of the Russian Empire during the Napoleonic era. This illustration, in particular, offers a striking and evocative representation of the Moldavian royalty, their traditions, and their connection to their people and their land.
