Three Japanese Soldiers: From Auguste Wahlen's 1844 Lithographic Collection

These three hand-colored lithographs, created for Auguste Wahlen's renowned 1844 work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), depict Japanese soldiers.

Each figure showcases different attire and weaponry from Japan during that period, rendered with incredible attention to cultural detail. The lithographs are heightened with Arabic gum on wove paper, giving them a vivid, appealing finish that enhances their attractiveness to collectors.
