EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Kalmyk people in the early 19th century. The image shows a group of Kalmyk men, dressed in traditional garments, gathered inside a gher, a type of felt tent commonly used by the Kalmyk and other nomadic peoples of the Eurasian steppe. The men are engaged in various activities, some drinking tea from bowls, while others smoke tobacco from long pipes. The scene is further enlivened by the intricate patterns of the carpet that covers the floor of the gher, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to the otherwise sparse interior. The Kalmyks, also known as Oirats or Western Mongols, are a Buddhist people who originated in Mongolia and migrated to the northern Caucasus region in the late 17th century. They are distinguished by their unique cultural practices, including their nomadic lifestyle, their distinctive dress, and their adherence to Tibetan Buddhism. This image, created during the era of European ethnographic exploration, offers a valuable record of the Kalmyk people and their customs at a time when they were still largely isolated from the wider world. The meticulous attention to detail in the lithograph, with its rich colors and intricate textures, brings the scene to life and transports us back in time to a world that is both exotic and intriguing.
