EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of a Turkish pirate, Ottoman Empire, 16th century" takes us back in time to the rich history and traditions of the Middle East. Created by Christoph Krieger in the late 16th century, this print showcases the attire worn by a Turkish pirate during that era. The pirate is depicted wearing a striking red cap and coat, adorned with intricate details. His jacket is cinched at the waist with a belt, while his pantaloons flow elegantly down to his slippers with iron heels. The engraving beautifully captures every aspect of his traditional costume. Surrounded by an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann, this woodblock engraving brings Cesare Vecellio's "Costumes anciens et modernes" to life. It was later reproduced in Paris between 1859-1860 through collaboration between Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when piracy was prevalent in the Ottoman Empire. The attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also gain insight into the fashion trends of that period. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human history and cultural diversity across continents. It offers us a glimpse into societies long gone but still remembered through art forms like these engravings from centuries past.
