EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of a Jewish man in Constantinople 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". In this striking portrayal, we see a Jewish man adorned in traditional attire that reflects his religious and cultural identity. He wears a dark turban atop his head, symbolizing dignity and respect. His long beard signifies wisdom and maturity while adding to his distinctive appearance. The man's robes are intricately designed, showcasing fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. Each fold tells a story as it drapes elegantly around him, emphasizing his connection to tradition. This image offers us a glimpse into life in Constantinople during this era when different cultures coexisted within the Ottoman Empire.
