EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cat feeder, plate from Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant" takes us on a journey to the vibrant and exotic world of the Ottoman Empire. Created by Charles de Ferriol and engraved by Jean-Baptiste Haussard in 1707-08, this coloured engraving captures a unique moment in time. In this scene, we witness an Albanian figure known as "Dgi-Guerdgi" who has taken on the role of feeding cats at Bezestein. Clad in traditional attire, he delicately balances mutton livers on a skewer while surrounded by hungry felines. The anthropomorphic nature of these cats adds an eccentric touch to this illustration. The print not only showcases Eastern fashion and costume but also highlights the intricate details of daily life in Istanbul during that era. From scratching posts to angry expressions, every element tells a story about domestic animals and their relationship with humans. As we delve into this artwork, it's hard not to feel a range of emotions - from anger and rage depicted through one cat's furor to curiosity sparked by their pawing gestures. This print invites us to explore themes such as hunger, emotion, and even touches upon the concept of seven deadly sins. Overall, this engraving is a testament to both artistic skill and cultural exploration. It transports us back in time while reminding us that even centuries ago, our connection with pets was just as significant as it is today.
