EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases a Cossack girl from the Urals and the Black Sea, showcasing the unique physiognomy and vibrant culture of these historic communities. The Cossacks, a group of semi-autonomous military settlers, originated in Eastern Europe along the rivers Don and Ural in the 16th century. This print, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840, offers a glimpse into the daily life and customs of these intriguing people. The Cossack girl in the image wears traditional clothing, including a long, flowing skirt, a bright blouse, and a headscarf adorned with intricate embroidery. Her expressive face, with its strong features and piercing gaze, speaks of her resilient spirit and fierce independence. In one hand, she holds a cup, perhaps from a carousing session at a local tavern, while the other rests on a wooden table, adding to the sense of warmth and conviviality. The backdrop of the image reveals a quintessential Cossack scene, with men in fur hats and leather vests gathered around a table, drinking and laughing. The Ural Mountains and the Black Sea, which have played a significant role in the history and identity of the Cossacks, are depicted in the distance. This ethnographic and anthropological record provides valuable insights into the physiognomy, customs, and costumes of the Cossacks from the Urals and the Black Sea. The intricate details and rich colors of the handcolored lithograph make it a stunning addition to any collection focused on history, culture, or art.
