EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Kalmuks Wrestling, 1812-13" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by E. Karnejeff in the 19th century, this print showcases a scene from Charles de Rechberg's book "Les Peuples de la Russie". Published in Paris between 1812 and 1813, the book provides a vivid description of the customs, costumes, and lifestyles of various nations within the Russian Empire. In this particular illustration, we are transported to an encampment set against a breathtaking Asian landscape. The focus is on two skilled Kalmuk wrestlers engaged in an intense contest of strength and skill. Surrounded by yurts and horses that symbolize their nomadic lifestyle, these athletes captivate both spectators and animals alike. The artist masterfully captures the energy and athleticism of these wrestlers as they confront each other with determination. The audience watches eagerly from their tents while others observe from horseback. This depiction not only highlights the physical prowess of these individuals but also emphasizes their cultural significance within Russian society. Through this coloured engraving, we are reminded of the rich diversity present within Russia during this time period. It serves as a testament to both historical events and sporting traditions that have shaped our understanding of different cultures throughout centuries.
