EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing handcolored woodcut depicts a Mount Lebanese man dressed in traditional attire, showcasing the unique customs and fashion of the region during the 19th century. The man is adorned with a turban, a distinctive headpiece that is a hallmark of Mount Lebanese and Middle Eastern culture. The turban is wrapped tightly around his head, securing a cloak that covers his shoulders and chest. The cloak, also known as a jellabiya, is a long, loose garment that was commonly worn in the Middle East and North Africa. The man's pants, which are worn beneath the cloak, are loose and baggy, reaching down to his ankles. He wears slippers on his feet, which are a common footwear choice in the region. In his hands, he holds a spear, a weapon that was traditionally used for hunting and self-defense. This image is taken from Auguste Wahlen's "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World," published in Brussels in 1845. Wahlen was a renowned ethnographer and artist who traveled extensively throughout Europe and the Middle East, documenting the diverse cultures and traditions of the world. This woodcut is a testament to his dedication to preserving the history and heritage of various communities, including the Mount Lebanese people. The intricate details of the man's clothing and accessories, as well as the vibrant colors used in the handcoloring, make this woodcut a captivating representation of the Mount Lebanese people and their traditions during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural history of this region and the unique fashion that defined it.
