EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of a First Dragoman or interpreter in Pera, Constantinople during the 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life the grandeur and elegance of this historical attire. The First Dragoman, also known as the Grand Dragoman, held a significant position as the deputy foreign minister and diplomat for the Sublime Porte in Istanbul. This esteemed individual played a crucial role in facilitating communication between different cultures and languages. The dragoman's robe is adorned with ornate patterns that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and its ties to the Ottoman Empire.
