Hab.t de Juida, from the playing cards (for quartets) "Costumes des Peuples Étrangers" 18th century

This 18th-century playing card from the "Costumes des Peuples Étrangers" series depicts a family from Juda. The card features an elaborately-dressed woman carrying a child, and a man with a spear, wearing a red and orange skirt. The figures are shown against a landscape background with a section of a brick wall visible in the background. The card is part of a series that was designed to portray the costumes of different peoples around the world, and it exemplifies the 18th-century fascination with exotic cultures. The card is a great example of both printmaking and a historical document that reflects the visual culture of the time.
