EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Mordovian Men and Women, Bashkir Archer, and Girl," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the 19th century. It is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen between 1835 and 1840. The image showcases the traditional costumes of the Mordovian men and women, as well as a Bashkir archer and girl. The Mordovian men are depicted wearing long, flowing robes, often adorned with intricate patterns and fringes. Their headdresses are tall and conical, with a distinctive red tassel hanging down the back. The women's costumes consist of long, pleated skirts, often with bright, floral patterns, and embroidered vests. Their headdresses are more elaborate, featuring multiple layers of fabric and adornments. The Bashkir archer is shown wearing a short, fitted tunic and trousers, both of which are adorned with intricate patterns. He wears a tall, fur hat and carries a bow and quiver on his back. The Bashkir girl is dressed in a long, flowing robe, with a patterned headscarf and a belt adorned with beads. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the traditional costumes and customs of the Mordovian and Bashkir peoples during the 19th century. The meticulous handcoloring adds depth and vibrancy to the lithograph, making it a beautiful and valuable historical document. The physiognomic focus of the series, as evidenced by the close-up portraits of the individuals, further emphasizes the importance of documenting the unique features and characteristics of different ethnic groups during this period of anthropological and ethnographic exploration.
