Japanese Cavalryman and General from 1844 in Wahlen's Historical Lithograph
About the Item
Title: "Japanese Cavalryman and General from 1844 in Wahlen's Historical Lithographs"
Description:
These hand-colored lithographs feature a *Cavalier Japonais* (Japanese Cavalryman) and *General Japonais* (Japanese General) on horseback.
These prints are from the 1844 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). The prints were created using hand-colored lithography on vellum paper, enhanced with Arabic gum to give the colors a vibrant, glossy finish.
Notable Features:
- Cavalier Japonais: The cavalryman is shown riding at a gallop, wearing traditional armor with distinct layered garments. His swift movement conveys the dynamic nature of mounted Japanese warriors.
- General Japonais: The general is depicted in a commanding pose on horseback, adorned in more elaborate and decorative attire, symbolizing his higher rank and authority.
Attractiveness:
The prints are highly attractive due to their intricate detailing of the horses' tack, the flowing garments, and the vivid hand-coloring that brings the scene to life. The use of motion in the cavalryman’s pose adds a sense of action, while the general’s poised stance conveys authority, making the images visually engaging and historically informative.

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...
