EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled 'Janissaries or New Corps of the Sultans's Household Troops,' is an exquisite 19th-century depiction of the Janissary infantry, an elite and loyal corps of the Ottoman Empire's military organization. The Janissaries, established in 1365, served as the sultan's personal bodyguard and were renowned for their fidelity and dedication. The engraving, created by Lemaitre, Lalaisse, and Chaillot, is part of the comprehensive work 'Historia de Turquia' by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver, published in 1840. The image showcases a group of Janissaries, each wearing distinctive clothing, including turbans and red fezzes, and armed with sabres and sables. One soldier in the foreground points to another, possibly indicating a command or sharing a story. The Janissaries were a crucial part of the Ottoman military, and their influence extended beyond the battlefield. They held significant political power and were influential in the selection of the sultan. The Janissaries' loyalty was legendary, and their corps remained a symbol of the Ottoman Empire's military might and tradition until their abolition in 1826. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual representation of the Janissaries' uniforms, weapons, and the military organization of the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century.
