EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Saka or Turkish water carrier of Pera, Constantinople during the 18th century. The image beautifully captures his striking attire and cultural significance. Adorned with a large turban, he exudes an air of elegance and tradition. His short jacket is intricately decorated with gold or silk twist, adding a touch of opulence to his ensemble. Loose trousers and vibrant red slippers complete his distinctive look. Handcoloured copperplate engraving after Octavian Dalvimart from William Alexander's translation of Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks, this artwork offers a glimpse into the fashion and customs prevalent in Turkey during that era. Published in London in 1814 by Thomas M Lean, it serves as an invaluable historical document. The Saka represents not only a specific occupation but also embodies the rich Islamic culture found within the Ottoman Empire. This image transports us back in time to Constantinople (now Istanbul), allowing us to witness firsthand how individuals dressed and carried out their daily lives. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate its contribution to our understanding of travel, costume, fashion, and Muslim heritage during both the Regency Era and Georgian Era. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in capturing history for generations to come.
