EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing hand-colored steel engraving, titled "Manchu (Niuchi) Man, Mongol with Moustache and Pigtail, and Eleuth Mongol Man," is an ethnographic representation of three distinct groups of people from the Eastern Eurasian region during the mid-19th century. The central figure is identified as a Manchu or Niuchi man, who was a member of the ruling dynasty in China from 1644 to 1912. He is depicted wearing traditional Manchu attire, including a long robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and a pigtail, which was a symbol of Manchu identity and submission to the Emperor. To the left of the Manchu man is a Mongol man, characterized by his moustache and pigtail. The Mongols are a large ethno-linguistic group inhabiting the Mongolian plateau and adjacent regions. This representation showcases their traditional nomadic lifestyle, with the man wearing a fur coat and holding a bow and arrow. On the right, there is an Eleuth Mongol man, who was a subgroup of the Mongols living in the Russian Empire. The term "Eleuth" refers to their semi-settled lifestyle, which combined elements of nomadism and agriculture. In this image, the man is shown wearing a simple tunic and trousers, and he carries a quiver of arrows and a hunting rifle. This engraving is an illustration from Charles Hamilton Smith's "Natural History of the Human Species," published by W. H. Lizars in Edinburgh in 1848. Smith was a prominent Scottish artist and ethnologist who traveled extensively throughout Europe, North Africa, and Asia to study and document various human populations. His work was influential in the development of anthropology and the study of human diversity during the 19th century.
