About the Item
"Indostan People's Traditional Attire Depicted in Auguste Wahlen's 19th Century Prints"
This lithograph represents a man from the common people of Hindustan, captured in his traditional attire, featuring a simple turban, a short beaded necklace, and knee-length trousers, along with a sash tied around his waist. The figure exudes a sense of simplicity and cultural authenticity, standing barefoot with a humble background of a rural hut.
This print is a part of Auguste Wahlen’s famous ethnographic work *"Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde"* (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1843.
The lithograph technique was used to create this image, a method where the artist uses a grease-based medium to draw on a flat surface, transferring the design through a chemical process. The result is a highly detailed, vivid print that showcases traditional clothing and everyday life with accuracy. The intricate hand-colored details make the subject feel alive, enhancing the lithograph’s attractiveness.
Attraction of the Prints:

Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs"
Description:
This hand-colored lithograph, titled *Jeune Fille Arabe* (Young Arab Girl), is from the Asia volume of Auguste Wahlen’s "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844.
The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen’s work, with artists like Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King contributing to the collection.
Enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, the lithograph offers a striking representation of an Arabian woman in traditional attire, including a striped dress, animal-print shawl, and ornate jewelry.
Cultural and Artistic Insight:
The subject's attire reflects a blend of practical clothing and decorative elements, such as the striped fabric and the leopard-patterned wrap. Her jewelry, including bracelets and a headpiece, highlights her status or cultural identity. The presence of a background with tropical trees and village buildings suggests that this scene might depict a coastal or rural area, where both traditional and more exotic elements are incorporated into daily life.
Attractiveness:
The vivid hand-coloring, along with the detailed rendering of fabric patterns and accessories, makes this print particularly appealing. The glossy finish provided by the Arabic gum adds depth to the colors, giving the illustration a luminous quality. The juxtaposition of traditional Arabian dress...
