EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1907, offers a rare glimpse into the enigmatic world of the Ottoman Sultan's harem. The image features one of the Sultan's concubines, an odalisque, who was a favorite of the royal court. The term "odalisque" originated from the Turkish word "odalık," meaning "chamberlain," and these women were responsible for serving and attending to the Sultan and his guests. The concubine in this photograph is depicted in a heart-shaped divan, surrounded by luxurious fabrics and adorned with intricate jewelry and accessories. She holds a fan made of string and beads, a common accessory used by odalisques to fan themselves during the hot Turkish summers. Her neck is adorned with a beautiful necklace, and she wears a cap, typical of the headgear worn by concubines in the harem. The harem was a secluded part of the palace where the Sultan's wives, concubines, and female slaves lived. It was a place of opulence and luxury, where women were educated, trained in the arts, and pampered. The harem was also a place of intrigue and politics, where women vied for the Sultan's favor and jockeyed for power and influence. This photograph provides a tantalizing glimpse into a world that has long been shrouded in mystery and intrigue. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the women who lived in the harem, and the role they played in the Ottoman court. The image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey, and serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Ottoman Empire.
