EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures the essence of Reis Effendi, a prominent figure in the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century. As the head clerk, Foreign Minister, and Secretary of State to the empire, his influence extended far beyond his official titles. Dressed in opulent attire befitting his esteemed position, Reis Effendi dons a giant turban that symbolizes his authority and status. His pelisse coat is adorned with luxurious fur trimmings, adding an air of elegance to his appearance. The vibrant yellow boots he wears serve as a striking contrast against the rich colors of his outfit. This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart beautifully depicts Reis Effendi's regal presence. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured, from the folds of his clothing to the expression on his face. Reis Effendi's role as an official diplomat and courtier allowed him direct access to Sultan and played a crucial part in shaping policies within the empire. His knowledge and expertise were highly valued by those around him. This artwork not only showcases Reis Effendi's distinctive fashion choices but also offers us a glimpse into Turkish culture during this period. It serves as a testament to both Islamic traditions and Ottoman fashion trends that prevailed at that time. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness one man's significant contribution to history while marveling at the beauty and intricacy of traditional Turkish attire.
