1. Title: "A Kabard Prince in Regal Attire: A 19th-Century Portrait of Nobility and Tradition" This handcolored woodcut print, created by Auguste Wahlen for "Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World" published in Brussels in 1845, showcases a proud and regal Kabard prince. The prince is adorned in traditional Circassian attire, including a helmet, chainmail tunic, tabard, skirt, trousers, bow case, and a scimitar at his side. The Kabard people, also known as Circassians, are an ethno-linguistic group originating from the Northwestern Caucasus region. This image offers a glimpse into their rich history and cultural traditions, which were documented and celebrated during the 19th century. The prince's helmet, intricately designed with geometric patterns and animal motifs, is a symbol of his rank and power. The chainmail tunic and tabard, both made from interlinked metal rings, provide protection and serve as a testament to the warrior spirit of the Kabard people. The skirt and trousers, made from thick fabric, are both functional and decorative, while the bow case and scimitar represent the prince's skill in archery and swordsmanship. This portrait, created by Jean Francois Nicolas Loumyer, offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and customs of the Kabard people during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Caucasus region and the rich cultural heritage of its various ethnic groups. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the woodcut print bring the image to life, transporting us back in time and offering a glimpse into a world far removed from our own. The Kabard prince in this image is a testament to the enduring power of traditional clothing and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. His regal attire, steeped in history and symbolism, continues to captivate and inspire us today.
