EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled 'Man and Woman of Armenia,' is an intriguing glimpse into the traditional attire and cultural practices of the Armenian people during the early 19th century. The man, dressed in a turban, coat, tunic, and breeches, exudes an air of authority and tradition. His full beard and the elegant folds of his garments suggest a connection to the region's rich history and the influence of the Ottoman Empire. The woman, adorned in an embroidered dress, wears a wimple and a headscarf, which may indicate her membership in a harem or a traditional Armenian tribe. Her delicate features, accentuated by the intricate details of the engraving, convey a sense of grace and femininity. This image is taken from Mary Anne Venning's 'A Geographical Present: Being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World,' published in London by Darton, Harvey and Darton in 1818. Venning was a prolific writer and educator, known for her works on geography, conchology, and mineralogy during the Regency and Georgian eras. Her books were designed to broaden the knowledge and understanding of the world for her readers, making this engraving a valuable historical record of the people and customs of Armenia during this time. The intricate details of the engraving, combined with the rich cultural significance of the subjects depicted, make this a captivating and essential addition to any collection of historical images or studies of traditional costume and folklore.
