EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire, specifically to the court of the Sultan. In this image, we see an Usher, a distinguished officer and courtier, adorned in exquisite attire that reflects the opulence and cultural richness of his time. The Usher carries a staff symbolizing his authority and importance within the court. His turban signifies his high status while adding an element of elegance to his appearance. The short jacket he wears is intricately designed with vibrant colors and patterns, showcasing both fashion and craftsmanship prevalent during this era. A girdle adorns his waist, accentuating his figure while also serving as a practical accessory for carrying essential items. Loose harem pants provide comfort without compromising style or sophistication. Completing this remarkable ensemble are yellow boots that add a touch of flair to an already striking outfit. Handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart captures every intricate detail with precision and artistry. This particular print comes from William Alexander's translation of "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of Turks" providing valuable insight into Turkish culture during this period. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported through time to witness not only exceptional fashion but also gain glimpses into Islamic traditions that shaped society at that time. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be more than just fabric; it represents history, identity, and artistic expression all at once.
