EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving depicts the Public Library of Sultan Abdul Hamid I, the 31st Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who ruled from 1773 to 1789. The image, created by Verico after Giulio Ferrario in his "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1842, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and scholarly atmosphere of the library. The interior of the library is adorned with an intricately designed arch, surrounded by bookcases filled with an extensive collection of books and scrolls. Scholars, dressed in turbans, are engrossed in their studies, some reading from books while others peruse scrolls spread out on a carpeted table. The library's ambiance is further enhanced by the presence of a grand vizier, Recip Pasha, and other Ottoman statesmen, all dressed in their traditional attire, contributing to the intellectual discourse. The library of Sultan Abdul Hamid I was a significant center of learning and knowledge during the Ottoman Empire. The Sultan himself was an avid reader and patron of the arts and sciences. The library housed an extensive collection of manuscripts, books, and scrolls, making it a treasure trove for scholars and intellectuals. The engraving is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and scholarly traditions of the Ottoman Empire during the late 18th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the illustration provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of scholars and statesmen during the Ottoman period.
