Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918): A Portrait of Power and Faith in the Late Ottoman Empire This colored engraving depicts Abdul Hamid II, the 34th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, in his regal splendor. Born in 1842, Abdul Hamid II ascended to the throne in 1876, marking the beginning of his 31-year reign. This period, known as the 'Second Constitutional Era,' was a time of significant political and social change in the Ottoman Empire. The image captures the Sultan in his prime, with an air of authority and wisdom that comes from years of experience. His face, framed by a thick mustache and goatee, is set against the backdrop of the Ottoman House of Osman, symbolizing his connection to the long and storied history of the Ottoman Empire. Abdul Hamid II was not only a Sultan but also the Caliph of Islam, the spiritual leader of the Muslim world. This dual role added to his prestige and influence, both within the Ottoman Empire and beyond its borders. The engraving, produced by The Spanish and American Illustration in 1876, offers a glimpse into the contemporary perception of the Sultan. It is a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Ottoman Empire during the late 19th century, a time of great change and upheaval in world history. Despite the challenges and complexities of his reign, Abdul Hamid II remains a significant figure in Ottoman history. His image, captured in this beautiful colored engraving, continues to fascinate and inspire scholars, historians, and collectors alike.
