EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Mayan woman and man from Guatemala, captured by T. S. & Duverger in the 18th-19th century. The intricate details of their traditional attire are beautifully depicted in this handcoloured woodcut by Duverger and T. S. , taken from Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World). The Mayan woman is adorned in an embroidered tunic, skirt, necklace, earrings, and sandals. Her vibrant ensemble reflects her rich cultural heritage with pride. On the other hand, the man dons a straw hat along with a cape and tunic that exude an air of elegance. Wahlen's pseudonym was Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer – a writer and archivist who played a significant role in Belgium's Heraldic Department during his lifetime. This particular image captures not only the beauty of Mayan fashion but also serves as a testament to Wahlen's dedication to documenting various cultures worldwide. As we delve into this photograph print by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the unique style and customs of these indigenous people. It reminds us that fashion is more than just clothing; it represents identity, history, and tradition. Through this image, we gain insight into the lives of Guatemalan Mayans while appreciating their remarkable craftsmanship and distinct way of life within their tribe or nation.
