EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Mehmed V was proclaimed Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life this significant event in 20th-century Turkish history. After his predecessor, Abdul Hamid II, was deposed following the failed Ottoman Countercoup of 1909, Mehmed ascended to power as Sultan. This image showcases him wearing a distinguished military uniform and a traditional fez, symbolizing his authority and position within the empire. The photograph not only highlights Mehmed's accession but also provides insight into the political landscape of Europe and the Middle East during that time. It serves as a visual representation of power dynamics between nations and regions. Mehmed V's proclamation as Sultan marked an important turning point for Turkey and its people. As he took on this role, he became both a royal figurehead and a symbol of Turkish culture. His reign would witness significant changes in European-Turkish relations, shaping not only Turkey's future but also influencing broader geopolitical developments in the region. This print is an invaluable piece of historical documentation that allows us to delve into this pivotal moment in time – one where tradition met modernity, politics intersected with power struggles, and an empire stood at a crossroads between past glory and uncertain futures.
