EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts an Iftar or dinner scene taking place in the grand halls of Topkapi Palace in Constantinople (now Istanbul), during the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The Grand Vizier and his ministers are gathered around a lavishly set table, breaking their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan. The sun has set, signaling the end of the day's fast, and the nocturnal scene is illuminated by candles and lanterns. The Grand Vizier and his esteemed guests are dressed in traditional Ottoman attire, donning turbans and ornate clothing. Servants, dressed in simpler garments, attend to their needs, ensuring that every detail of the meal is perfect. The table is laden with an array of delicious Turkish dishes, including Fatoor, a popular Ramadan delicacy made from thin layers of dough filled with meat and pine nuts. The atmosphere is one of relaxation and camaraderie, as the group enjoys their meal and engages in important discussions and decision-making for the empire. This engraving, created by Lemaitre, Lalaisse, and Chaillot, is a beautiful representation of the rich history and traditions of the Ottoman Empire during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
