EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a domestic servant of the Grand Vizier during the 18th century Ottoman Empire. Dressed in traditional attire, he wears a turban atop his head and adorns himself with a long-sleeved robe, skirts, and vibrant yellow boots. The intricate details of his clothing showcase the opulence and grandeur associated with this position. In his belt rests a yataghan or scimitar, symbolizing both protection and authority. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart beautifully depicts the servant's regal appearance as well as highlights their significant role within Turkish society. The image is part of William Alexander's translation titled "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks" published in London in 1814. It offers viewers an insight into the fashion and customs prevalent during that era. Transporting us back to a time when Turkey was at its height under Ottoman rule, this print invites us to explore not only historical costume but also cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve moments from our past while simultaneously sparking curiosity about different civilizations. Bridgeman Images' collection continues to bring these remarkable pieces to life for enthusiasts who appreciate fine art photography that transcends time boundaries.
