1. Title: "A Woman of Baghdad in Everyday Attire: A Vibrant Portrayal from Guillaume-Antoine Olivier's Travels in the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and Persia" This exquisite 19th-century illustration portrays a captivating image of a woman from Baghdad, dressed in the traditional attire of the time. The illustration, created by Mounier and engraved by Dell Acqua, is hand-colored by Lazaretti, as part of Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti), published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The woman is depicted wearing botanical-print robes, harem pants, and sandals, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the region. The intricate botanical patterns on her robe and harem pants are a testament to the influence of nature and its importance in the daily lives of the people of Baghdad during this era. The woman's sandals, adorned with delicate floral designs, add to the overall elegance of her attire. Guillaume-Antoine Olivier, a French traveler and writer, documented his journeys through the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and Persia between 1801 and 1806. His detailed accounts and illustrations, like this one, provided Europeans with a glimpse into the exotic and intriguing world of the Middle East. The illustration not only showcases the woman's attire but also offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of Baghdad during this period. This image is a beautiful representation of the rich cultural heritage and the influence of nature on the traditional attire of the people of Baghdad during the early 19th century. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of the illustrators and engravers of the time and offers a fascinating glimpse into the past.
