Jigsaw Puzzles from Mary Evans Picture Library
Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey - Investiture Card
Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey (1844 - 1918). Sultan of the Ottoman Empire from 1909 until his death in 1918, Mehmed - original name Mehmed Resad - spent much of his life in seclusion until the forced abdication of his brother Sultan Abdul Hamid II at the hands of the Young Turks in 1909. A kindly gentle man with an interest in Persian literature, Mehmed was effectively little more than a puppet Sultan whose actions were directed by leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress. Mehmed was little able to govern of his own accord and thus accepted direction from Young Turk leaders including Enver Pasha

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Sultan Mehmed V Reshad of Turkey during his investiture ceremony, marking his ascension to the throne in 1909 following the forced abdication of his brother, Sultan Abdul Hamid II. Mehmed, originally named Mehmed Resad, spent much of his life in seclusion, making his reign a relatively brief yet significant chapter in Ottoman Empire history. Mehmed is depicted here in his grand attire, adorned with an ornate uniform, a wide sash, and a decorative belt. The intricate script on the sash and the turban signify his royal status. The investiture card, displayed prominently, bears the date and the official title of the Sultan. Mehmed's reign was marked by the influence of the Young Turks, who had orchestrated his brother's abdication. As a kindly and gentle man with an interest in Persian literature, Mehmed was ill-equipped to govern independently. Instead, he became a puppet Sultan, with the leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress, including Enver Pasha, directing his actions. The backdrop of this historical event is a tumultuous time in Turkish history, with the Ottoman Empire facing significant challenges from internal and external forces. The Greek War of Independence had ended just a few years prior, and the Armenian Genocide was on the horizon. Amidst these challenges, Sultan Mehmed V Reshad served as a symbol of the Ottoman Empire's past glory, even as the Young Turks worked to modernize and redefine the nation's future. This evocative photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in Turkish history, capturing the essence of a Sultan's investiture ceremony and the complex political landscape of the Ottoman Empire during its final years.
