I am a mosaic of all the people i have ever loved.
I carry pieces of them just as they carry pieces of my soul. I’m a whole person, just not entirely made by myself.

What did Jonathan Harker see in Transylvania?
Except the vampires of course. But let’s see some traditional transylvanian folk costumes that our dear friend Jonathan tried to describe! Oh yeah, and don’t be offended by that “very clumsy about the waist” thing, I think it simply means that women who were wearing traditional clothes were not wearing a corset which must had been very unusual for a victorian gentleman from England.
Young Hungarian women from around Klausenburg / Kolozsvár / Cluj Napoca. Note the “strips” on their skirts and aprons, and the obvious lack of a corset. The carved wood gate behind them is also traditional Hungarian / Székely folk art.
And here are the Székelys, descendant of the Huns, or something. Jonathan’s informations about the nationalities of Transylvania were outdated even in 1897, but at least he tried, which you cannot tell about some modern day tourists. I’m not an expert of transylvanian history, so I’m not going to try and explain how all the people there are related to each other, but the thing Stoker got right is that it’s one of the most diverse and colourful regions of Europe.
Jonathan was traveling through the northern parts of Transylvania, but he also mentions the Saxon who live on the south, so here’s a young Saxon couple as well.
And last but not least, the Romanians or as Jonathan calls them, the Wallachs.
The only thing I couldn’t find anything about was the Slovaks as Jonathan described them. The clothes he mentions are more like the traditional wear of the Romanian moți herdsmen with the big hats and leather belts decorated with brass nails. I personaly think that traditional moți clothes look fucking badass.
I have to admit that with this post I’ve really exceeded my authority. Romanian side of Tumblr, correct me if I’m wrong! All the pictures are from the frist half of the 20th century and were published in 1940 in the book “Erdély”.
