EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caucasian Race, Kurds and Persians, 1873" by A Portier offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity of the region during the 19th century. The image showcases various individuals representing different ethnic groups and social classes. In the foreground, we see a Kurd girl from the Plain of Ararat dressed in traditional attire, her vibrant clothing reflecting her Kurdish heritage. Standing beside her is a Kurdish priest adorned in religious robes and headgear, symbolizing his role within the community. On the other side, a Persian gentleman exudes elegance with his refined clothing and turban. The presence of a Persian lady and girl from Teheran further emphasizes the diverse tapestry of this region. Their garments display intricate patterns and colors that are characteristic of Persian culture. This print not only captures their distinct appearances but also provides insight into their respective traditions, religions (such as Islam), and ways of life. It serves as an ethnographic documentation highlighting both individuality and shared experiences within these communities. A collaboration between A Portier (the creator) and JL Williams brings this historical moment to life through detailed engraving techniques. Through this artwork, viewers can appreciate how fashion played an integral role in expressing identity for people living in Kurdistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Turkey during this era.
