EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, we see Prince Mehmed Necmeddin Efendi (1876-1919), the middle child of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed V Resad (r. 1909-1918) from his first wife Kamures Kadin Efendi. The photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the young prince in formal attire, donning the traditional red fez hat and a luxurious moustache, signifying his royal lineage and status. Mehmed Necmeddin Efendi was born in the late 19th century during the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. As the fifth son of Sultan Mehmed V, he was part of the imperial family that ruled over the vast territories of the Ottoman Empire, which spanned Europe and Asia. The Ottoman Empire was a complex and multicultural society, with Turkish, Arab, Greek, and European influences shaping its art, architecture, and social norms. The portrait showcases the prince's elegant attire, which includes a long, flowing robe and a sash adorned with intricate gold embroidery. The prince's piercing gaze and confident posture exude an air of authority and regality, reflecting his position as a member of the Ottoman royal family. Despite the grandeur of his appearance, Prince Mehmed Necmeddin Efendi's life was marked by political instability and social change. The Ottoman Empire was facing increasing pressure from European powers, and the prince would witness the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the eventual establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923. This portrait is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and the individuals who shaped its legacy. The image of Prince Mehmed Necmeddin Efendi, with his striking moustache, red fez, and regal bearing, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of grandeur, tradition, and change.
