"Mufti: A Journey Through History and Culture" Step into the world of mufti, a term that encompasses various aspects of history, culture, and even fashion. From General Bernard Montgomery's visit to his son David during World War I to an intriguing British poster urging people not to waste food, the concept has left its mark in different realms. One fascinating glimpse into the past is an engraved Jacobite airtwist drinking glass. This exquisite artifact showcases the craftsmanship and artistry associated with mufti. Similarly, Bruce Bairnsfather's "Old Billisation" captures the essence of everyday life during wartime through humorous illustrations. But mufti goes beyond just visual representations; it also holds religious significance. Haj Al-Husseini stands as a prominent figure in this regard, embodying leadership and authority within Islam. The costume worn by a Mufti or religious chief further exemplifies their esteemed position within society. The concept of conscription in France adds another layer to our understanding of mufti. An engraving depicting this system sheds light on how individuals were selected for military service during certain periods in history. Delving deeper into historical references, we encounter "Le Moufti, " an artwork from 1714-15 whose creator remains unknown. This piece invites us to ponder upon the role played by muftis or chiefs in upholding laws and maintaining order throughout time. However, not all depictions are serious; some take on more whimsical forms like Jacopo Ligozzi's drawing featuring a playful interaction between a Mufti and a monster. Such imaginative portrayals remind us that even figures with significant responsibilities can have lighthearted moments. Shifting gears towards sportsmanship, we find ourselves at the racecourse where Jockey rides atop Mufti – a celebrated thoroughbred racer owned by none other than his Grace the Duke of Bedford.
