The image captures the grandeur and majesty of the Sultan, who became ruler in 1876. The postcard was published and released in anticipation of the anniversary, which actually took place in 1901. The decorative border of the postcard is adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns, typical of Ottoman art. At the top, the date "1876-1900" is inscribed in elegant script, signifying the 25-year milestone of Sultan Abdul Hamid II's reign. The Ottoman flag, with its distinctive crescent and star, is proudly displayed at the bottom left corner. The central image of the postcard shows Sultan Abdul Hamid II, dressed in traditional Ottoman attire, seated on a grand throne. He is surrounded by a group of dignitaries and officials, all dressed in formal attire and wearing fez hats, which were the symbol of Ottoman identity. The Sultan's turban is adorned with precious jewels and gold threads, reflecting his status as a monarch. The postcard was sent in November 1900, making it a rare and early example of Ottoman commemorative postcards. It is a fascinating historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and the grand celebrations marking the anniversary of a monarch's reign.
