EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Man and woman of Palestine, 1818" takes us back in time to the early 19th century. The image showcases a man and a woman dressed in traditional Palestinian attire, providing us with a glimpse into their culture and way of life. The man is adorned with a turban on his head, complemented by harem pants that flow gracefully down to his ankles. His beard adds an air of wisdom and maturity to his countenance. On the other hand, the woman wears a wimple covering her hair, highlighting her modesty and femininity. Both figures are beautifully handcoloured, adding vibrancy to their costumes. This copperplate engraving was featured in Mary Anne Vennings' book "A Geographical Present" which aimed to educate readers about different countries around the world. Vennings herself was an accomplished female author and tutor during the Regency era. Looking at this print transports us not only geographically but also culturally. It reminds us of the diverse tribes and nationalities that exist within our world's history. This image serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of humanity's traditions and customs. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this historical snapshot from over two centuries ago.
