EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving showcases the distinguished figure of Grand Vizier Midhat Pasha, a prominent statesman and reformer in the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. The portrait exudes an air of authority and wisdom as it captures his commanding presence. Midhat Pasha played a pivotal role in history by advocating for the promulgation of the first Ottoman Constitution in 1876. His progressive ideas and commitment to justice positioned him as a leading civil administrator and justice minister within the empire. The oval-shaped roundel framing his face highlights his distinctive features, including his iconic fez adorned with tassels, meticulously groomed moustache, beard, and spectacles perched upon his nose. These elements contribute to creating an image that epitomizes traditional Turkish culture while also reflecting modern influences. Despite being banished from power later in life due to political turmoil, Midhat Pasha's legacy lives on through this remarkable portrait. It serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication towards bringing about meaningful reforms within the Ottoman Empire. This print offers viewers a glimpse into history, capturing not only an individual but also shedding light on an era marked by significant social change. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of Midhat Pasha's enduring impact as both a politician and visionary leader who left an indelible mark on Turkish history.
