EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases elegant examples of the ancient alphabets of the Arab, Turkish, and Persian cultures, dating back to circa 1760. The intricate designs of the Arabic, Turkish, and Persian scripts are a testament to the rich history of written communication in the Middle East. The Arabic script, depicted on the left, is one of the most widely used writing systems in the world today. Originating in the Arabian Peninsula around the 7th century, it has since spread across the Islamic world and beyond. The Arabic script is characterized by its distinctive flowing lines and curved forms, which are beautifully illustrated in this print. Moving to the center, the Turkish script, also known as the Ottoman script, is a modification of the Arabic script that was developed in the late 13th century. It was widely used during the Ottoman Empire and is still used today in Turkey and some other countries. The Turkish script features some unique diacritical marks and letterforms that distinguish it from the Arabic script. Lastly, on the right, the Persian script, also known as the Arabic-Persian script, is a variant of the Arabic script that was developed in Persia around the 11th century. It is used primarily in Iran and some other countries. The Persian script is characterized by its elegant and flowing forms, which are on full display in this print. This print is not only a fascinating glimpse into the history of writing and communication in the Middle East but also a beautiful work of art in its own right. The intricate details of the letters and the delicate shading make it a must-have for anyone interested in typography, calligraphy, or the history of the Middle East.
