'HOMME-NORD-EST DE L'ASIE. / FEMME DE NORD-EST-DE L'ASIE.'(Man and Woman from Northeast Asia) The first print illustrates a man from Northeast Asia, dressed in a traditional attire that may be suited for the colder climates of the region. His outfit, complete with a layered tunic and leggings, a distinctive hat, and holding tools that suggest a form of craftsmanship or trade, reflects a blend of practicality and cultural tradition. The second print depicts a woman from Northeast Asia in a long, decorated robe with detailing that signifies her cultural heritage, along with a headpiece that complements her attire, indicative of the region's customary dress.
