EDITORS COMMENTS
Fath-Ali Shah Qajar, the Shah of Persia, is depicted in this stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, relaxing on his ornate bed throne in the seraglio or harem. The Shah, dressed in traditional Persian attire, holds a scimitar in one hand and a hookah pipe in the other, surrounded by his princes, court clerks, and other courtiers. The room is adorned with intricate Persian carpets, plush cushions, and ornate furnishings. To the right of the Shah, a Begum, or female member of the royal family, sits on a low chair, playing a lute. A group of women, dressed in elegant Persian garments, listen intently to the music, while musicians play various instruments. Servants and eunuchs attend to the Shah's every need, ensuring that his surroundings are comfortable and peaceful. This beautiful illustration is a copy of a Persian box in the collection of Prince Metternich and is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847. The engraving, created by B. Andrei, provides a fascinating glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Persian court during the Qajar dynasty.
