EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant coloured engraving titled "Scenes of Tauria or of the quondam Crimea" captures a captivating moment in history. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this print showcases various cultural aspects and dances from the region. Part of a Picture Book for Children published between 1790-1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, it offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of life during that time. In this particular scene, we witness an enchanting dance known as "The Dance of Dervishes". The dervishes gracefully twirl and spin with their flowing robes creating mesmerizing patterns in motion. Their movements are both spiritual and captivating, reflecting their devotion to their faith. Amidst the swirling dervishes, we also see a lighthearted figure - a buffoon or possenreiser - adding an element of playfulness to this depiction. This juxtaposition highlights the diversity within cultures and reminds us that even amidst solemn rituals, joy can be found. Through this intricately detailed engraving, we are transported back in time to experience these scenes from Tauria (Crimea) firsthand. It serves as a window into another era when different peoples coexisted harmoniously while celebrating their unique traditions. This artwork is part of Bridgeman Images' collection held privately but available for public appreciation. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its ability to educate us about diverse cultures and customs that have shaped
