EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcolored lithograph, titled "Costumes of Morocco: Moor, Berber and Moorish Nomads," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the 19th century. Created as part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, this image showcases the rich cultural diversity of Morocco, featuring individuals from various ethnic groups. In the foreground, a Moorish man is depicted wearing a long, flowing robe with intricate embroidery and a red fez adorned with gold tassels. His face is veiled, and he carries a merchandise basket on his back, suggesting his role as a trader. To the left, a Berber woman is shown wearing a traditional Berber cloak, known as a "Tebel," which is fastened with a silver brooch. Her hair is adorned with intricate braids and beads, and she carries a child on her back. In the background, a group of Moorish nomads are shown traveling with their livestock. They wear simple, practical clothing, including long robes and headscarves, and carry various items such as water skins and blankets. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and complex cultural landscape of Morocco during the 19th century. The intricate details of the costumes, the rich colors, and the authentic portrayal of daily life make this lithograph an invaluable resource for scholars of anthropology, ethnography, and history. The handcolored technique adds an additional layer of beauty and depth to the image, making it a true work of art.
