Temujin,

I love those 1805 year German paintings! Can you tell me the source and the name of the author.

Here're some paintings with English titles:

Bashqort trooper




Qazaqs (mistakenly called "Kirgiz" by tsarist Russians)

[Temüjin]

Bawirsaq, the picture series from 1805 with the many "exotic" soldiers is by Voltz, the collection is called "Russisches Militär" (Russian military) which are now to be found in the Landesbibliothek Darmstadt. there is another set of pictures which i didn't posted dating from 1807 which are not colored, but you can clearly recognize the troops:

Cossacks:



Nogai Tatars:



Kazaks (inaccurately labeled Kalmyks):

yes, unfortunately it is not in color... :-(

[Temüjin]

sorry for no new pictures this weekend, i planned on a bigger update, but i'm no longer sure if Circassians/Cherkess qualify for this thread. that said i have some really cool pictures about them that most of you will probably find interesting.

[BAWIR$AQ]

Circassians are definitely not steppe people. But you can always open a new thread in General World History, can't you?

[H. İhsan Erkoç]

Yes, I agree with Bawirsaq Yabghu.
