EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate costume of a Dervise or Dervish man from Syria during the 18th century. The image, handcoloured and engraved by Octavian Dalvimart, is part of William Alexander's translation of "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks". The Dervise man is dressed in flowing robes made of aba or felt, reflecting his cultural heritage. His attire includes a scimitar attached to his girdle, symbolizing strength and valor. Notably, he wears his hair in a tuft on top of his head, which is tied by a cord to the ceiling. This unique hairstyle adds an element of mystique and spiritual significance. As we delve into this visual representation, we are transported back to the Regency era when travel to distant lands like Turkey was highly romanticized. The Ottoman Empire's influence on fashion becomes evident through this exquisite ensemble. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph offers insights into Islamic culture and Muslim traditions prevalent in Syria during that period. It serves as a testament to the rich diversity found within different regions across the globe. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured not only an artistic masterpiece but also a glimpse into history itself with this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder.
