Omer Pacha - from a photograph by Mr. Robertson, of Constantinople, 1854. Creators: Unknown, Smyth
Omer Pacha - from a photograph by Mr. Robertson, of Constantinople, 1854. The portrait realises the most striking characteristics of the physiognomy of Omer Pacha...He wears a fez cap, which shows to advantage the clear, well-marked lines of his calm and resolute face, embrowned by exposure to wind and weather for many a year of a soldier's life...contrasted with his snow-white whiskers and beard. In the rude mouth, with compressed thick lips, is traceable enormous firmness and resolution. The chin, full and square, evinces the same qualities, which may also be discerned in the general form of the head. All the rougher features, he coarse nose, and the slight prominence of the cheek bones, are more than redeemed by the quick, penetrating, and expressive eye, full of quiet courage and genius, and by the calm though rather stubborn brow...rising above the thick shaggy eyebrow'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Omer Pacha - from a photograph by Mr. Robertson, of Constantinople, 1854," showcases the enigmatic and powerful presence of Omer Pacha. The image, captured by the skilled lens of Mr. Robertson, reveals the most striking characteristics of Omer Pacha's physiognomy. The portrait displays the calm and resolute face of a seasoned soldier, with clear, well-marked lines etched into his visage from years of exposure to wind and weather. The contrast between his embrowned face and his snow-white whiskers and beard adds to the intrigue of his appearance. His rugged features, including a coarse nose and slight prominence of cheekbones, are more than compensated for by the quick, penetrating, and expressive eye. Full of quiet courage and genius, Omer Pacha's eye radiates an air of calm though rather stubborn determination. The firmness and resolution in his mouth, with compressed thick lips, and the full and square chin, further emphasize his unwavering spirit. The fez cap, a traditional headpiece worn by Ottoman men, adds an authentic touch to the portrait, further emphasizing Omer Pacha's status as a prominent figure in the Ottoman Empire during the mid-19th century. This image, published in the "Illustrated London News" in 1854, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the unique and intriguing personality of Omer Pacha.
