EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this postcard image of an Ottoman interpreter and guard, ready to assist and protect intrepid travellers on their journey through the exotic lands of the Turkish Empire. The interpreter, dressed in traditional attire, sits attentively with a stack of documents and a quill pen in hand, prepared to facilitate communication between different languages and cultures. His intricately embroidered cloak, adorned with gold fringes and intricate patterns, speaks of wealth and status. Beside him stands his guard, a formidable figure clad in military regalia. He wears a tall, conical hat with a red tassel, a long, flowing moustache, and a stern expression. In his hands, he holds a rifle and a sabre, ready to defend against any potential threat. A scimitar and a knife are sheathed at his side, while a string of ammunition pouches adorns his waist. His head dress, bedecked with gold coins and jewels, adds to his regal appearance. This striking image transports us back to an era of exploration and discovery, where the world was a vast, unknown expanse, and the services of an interpreter and guard were essential for the safety and success of any journey. The rich details of their costumes, weapons, and accessories offer a glimpse into the history and traditions of the Ottoman Empire, making this postcard a treasured keepsake for history buffs and travellers alike.
