EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white image showcases Ferouk Khan, the Persian Ambassador to the Emperor of the French in 1857. The portrait, which was sketched from a Persian miniature painting, offers a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of the diplomat's attire. Ferouk Khan's costume consists of a green tunic, adorned with a blue ribbon, a cashmere pelisse, lined with fur, and two diamond aigrettes on each side. His sword and belt are also embellished with brilliants. Suspended from his neck is a portrait of the Shah of Persia, set in diamonds. The intricate details of Ferouk Khan's apparel reflect the rich textile traditions of Persia during the 19th century. The coat, made of cashmere, is a testament to the high-quality fabric that was prized for its softness and warmth. The fur lining adds an extra layer of luxury, while the diamond aigrettes and pendant serve as symbols of power and wealth. Ferouk Khan's beard and traditional Persian hat complete his regal appearance. The portrait, which was published in the Illustrated London News, offers a unique insight into the fashion and style of the time, as well as the diplomatic relations between Persia and France. The wood engraving, from an unknown artist, captures the essence of a moment in history, providing a lasting record of Ferouk Khan's visit to Europe.
