EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph illustration from the late 1890s showcases a grand scene at a post-war bazaar, where various items are being showcased for fundraising efforts to aid wounded soldiers and their families. Among the exquisite displays, an ornate Moorish-style cupboard, two metres in height, catches the eye. The cupboard, donated by the Sultan Abdul Hamid II of the Ottoman Empire, adds an air of exotic allure to the event. Adorning the cupboard is an intricate design of Arabic calligraphy and geometric patterns, typical of the Moorish architectural style. The cupboard's rich history and cultural significance are a testament to the patronage and diplomacy that took place during this period. Another eye-catching donation to the bazaar is a porcelain ornament, representing Mars and History, made in Berlin. The ornament, donated by the German Emperor, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the scene. The intricate details of the ornament, with its depiction of Mars, the Roman god of war, and History, symbolize the importance of remembering the past and the ongoing efforts to heal from the wounds of war. A third donation, a lamp decorated with bronze and gold, also hails from Berlin and was also donated by the German Emperor. The lamp, with its ornate design, adds a warm and inviting glow to the bazaar, creating an atmosphere of hope and generosity. This illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the spirit of giving and solidarity that emerged in the aftermath of war, bringing together diverse communities and cultures in the name of aid and support for those in need.
