Hungarian Shepherd - from a photograph by Richebourg, 1856. Creator: Unknown
Hungarian Shepherd - from a photograph by Richebourg, 1856. One shepherd was a very handsome young fellow, with a mild, oval, deep bronze countenance, almost oriental in expression, with black, piercing, roving eyes, and long, straight, black hair. He wore a black loose handkerchief round his throat, a close-fitting blue cloth hussar jacket without sleeves, with red glass buttons, and hanging over his left shoulder a blue pelisse of the same material; his sleeves were loose, and of white linen, and so were his trousers, which were so full and so short that they might be taken for a white kilt; on his legs were long, stout boots. He leaned on a wooden crook carved and coloured. The parti-coloured strings of his embroidered tobacco-pouch hung from his jacket pocket. He was of middle stature, muscular, slight, and active, and walked with a proud, lounging gait'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Richebourg in 1856, showcases a Hungarian Shepherd in all his majestic glory. The young shepherd, with his oval, deep bronze countenance and piercing, roving black eyes, exudes an almost oriental expression that is both intriguing and alluring. His long, straight, black hair complements his striking features, adding to his unique charm. The shepherd wears a traditional Hungarian outfit, consisting of a black loose handkerchief around his throat, a close-fitting blue cloth hussar jacket without sleeves, adorned with red glass buttons, and a blue pelisse slung over his left shoulder. His sleeves are loose and white linen, as are his trousers, which are full and short, resembling a white kilt. On his legs, he wears long, stout boots, perfect for traversing the rugged Hungarian terrain. The shepherd's attire is accessorized with a wooden crook carved and colored, and the strings of his embroidered tobacco pouch hang from his jacket pocket. He is of middle stature, muscular, slight, and active, and walks with a proud, lounging gait. This image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1856, captures the essence of a Hungarian shepherd, showcasing his unique beauty, strength, and traditional attire.
