EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Appartement d'un ministre de la Porte" or "The Apartment of an Ottoman Official," offers a captivating glimpse into the private quarters of an Ottoman dignitary during the late 18th century. The room is adorned with rich textiles, including a large, intricately patterned carpet that covers the floor, and the walls are decorated with ornate panels and hanging tapestries. Two Ottoman officials, dressed in flowing robes and turbans, sit on a divan, engaging in conversation. The elegant setting suggests a relaxed and leisurely atmosphere, as the men enjoy their time away from the bustling public sphere. In the foreground, a woman, dressed in the traditional attire of a Mahometane dame, spins yarn and embroideres, while a servant attends to a hookah pipe. The use of the hookah pipe, a popular form of smoking in the Ottoman Empire, further emphasizes the leisurely and refined nature of the scene. This illustration was created by Verico, based on an earlier work by Ignace Mouradgea d'Ohsson, and was published in Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" in 1842. The meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant colors of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to experience a moment in the private life of an Ottoman official and his family.
