Abdul Hamid II (1842-1918): A Portrait of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire in the Late 19th Century This portrait depicts Abdul Hamid II, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1876 to 1909. Born as the son of Abdulmecit I, Abdul Hamid II ascended to the throne following the deposition of his brother Murat V. He is best known for promulgating the Ottoman Constitution in 1876, which marked a significant step towards modernization and democratization in the Ottoman Empire. The image showcases Abdul Hamid II in the prime of his life, with a regal and resolute expression. His moustache, a distinctive feature of the Ottoman Sultans, is meticulously groomed and adds to his imposing presence. The Sultan is dressed in the traditional Ottoman attire, adorned with intricate gold embroidery, signifying his status as the Caliph and the spiritual leader of the Sunni Muslim world. The Ottoman Empire during Abdul Hamid II's reign was a complex and dynamic entity, marked by both modernization efforts and conservative resistance. The Sultan's rule was characterized by a renewed emphasis on Islamic identity and the consolidation of power, which led to a period of authoritarianism and repression. This 19th-century engraving, colored for enhanced visual appeal, offers a glimpse into the history of the Ottoman Empire during a pivotal period. Abdul Hamid II's reign was a turning point in the Ottoman history, as the empire faced the challenges of modernization and the encroachment of European powers. This portrait serves as a reminder of the rich and complex history of the Ottoman Empire and the role of its leaders in shaping the course of Turkish history.
