EDITORS COMMENTS
This catalog illustration showcases a collection of exquisite items donated to a post-war relief effort in the late 1890s. The illustration, a chromolithograph from the Ottoman Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, highlights the rich cultural diversity and patronage of the time. Item 69, a silk carpet made in Angora, was graciously donated by the Sultan himself. The Imperial Porcelain Factory at Yildiz produced the enamelled vase in item 70, another generous contribution from the Sultan. Item 71, a vase from Berlin, was donated by the German Emperor, symbolizing international solidarity in the aftermath of war. Jevad Pasha, Military Commandant of Crete, presented a Sevres vase with bronze gold decorations, adding to the impressive collection. The ancient desk with bronze and tortoiseshell ornamentation, once used by the Secretary to the French King Louis Philippe, was donated by Marshal Fuad Pasha. The wife of Sheik-Ul-Islam generously contributed a gilt vase, made in Turkey, with relief decorations. Bishop Montran Youseff Dorian, Vicar of the Maronite Patriarchy, donated a carpet in silk and gold, made in Lebanon. This catalog illustration serves as a reminder of the generosity and support during a time of need, with items representing various cultural influences from the Middle East and Europe. The ornate designs and Arabic script add to the overall elegance and significance of the collection, which was likely used for fundraising efforts to aid wounded soldiers and their families.
