EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, showcases a striking image of Udmurt women and the Sultan of Kyrgyz with a hawk. The Udmurt women, dressed in their traditional clothing, are depicted with intricate headpieces adorned with beads and feathers, reflecting their rich cultural heritage. Their expressive faces, with furrowed brows and piercing gazes, reveal the strong character and resilience of this ancient people. In the foreground, the Sultan of Kyrgyz sits regally on his horse, his fierce gaze fixed on the hawk perched on his gloved hand. The hawk, with its sharp eyes and outstretched wings, symbolizes the Sultan's power and dominance over his lands. The Kyrgyz man in the background, dressed in a long robe and felt hat, adds to the ethnographic scene, providing a glimpse into the diverse customs and costumes of the Kyrgyz people. This lithograph, produced in Meissen around 1835-1840, is a testament to the meticulous work of Goedsche's team of artists and ethnographers. The attention to detail in the physiognomy, clothing, and accessories of the subjects is a reflection of the deep respect and fascination that the European world had for the peoples and cultures of Central Asia during this period. The image not only captures the essence of the Udmurt women, the Sultan of Kyrgyz, and the Kyrgyz man, but also provides a window into the history and anthropology of these fascinating peoples.
