EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Stool bearer to the Grand Signior, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century. The officer's role was to assist the sultan when he mounted his horse, and this image beautifully captures their regal connection. The Stool bearer is adorned in a magnificent ensemble that reflects both tradition and opulence. With an elaborate headdress, pelisse coat trimmed with fur, and vibrant yellow boots, his attire exudes authority and grandeur. Handcoloured copperplate engraving techniques have been employed to enhance every intricate detail of this remarkable costume. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and its historical ties to Europe and the Middle East. The fusion of Islamic influences can be seen in both fashion choices and religious symbolism present in this portrayal. As we admire this stunning piece from William Alexander's translation of Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of Turks published in 1814 by Thomas M Lean, London; it serves as a reminder not only of artistic beauty but also as a testament to travel experiences during that era. This image transports us back in time on a journey through history. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional collection that allows us to appreciate diverse cultures through artistry while preserving these invaluable glimpses into our shared pasts.
