EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Giulio Ferrario in 1829, offers a glimpse into the rich and intricate world of the Sultan's judicial Divan, or court, during the Old Regime in Spain. The image depicts ten judges, dressed in traditional attire, seated on a grand divan or sofa, surrounded by an ornate and opulent interior. The room is adorned with intricately carved columns and capitals, reminiscent of the grandeur of Moorish architecture, which was prevalent in Spain during this period. In the background, a scene of contrasting elements unfolds. On the left, Moorish hunters are shown in the act of killing a deer, their traditional attire a stark contrast to the formal judicial setting. On the right, a fierce battle ensues between Spanish knights and Moorish warriors, their horses and lances clashing amidst a cloud of dust and chaos. The scene takes place within the ancient and historic Salamanca Cathedral, specifically the internal area of the Vieja Catedral de Santa Maria la Real de la Sede. This cathedral, a masterpiece of Roman Catholic and Christian architecture, has stood the test of time and bears witness to the complex and tumultuous history of Spain. This illustration, taken from Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a fascinating glimpse into the diverse and intriguing world of historical fashion and the rich cultural tapestry of Spain during the Old Regime. The contrasting scenes of the judicial Divan and the battle between Moors and Spanish knights serve as a reminder of the complex and often tumultuous coexistence of different cultures and religions within the Spanish realm.
