EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, taken from Mary Anne Venning's 'A Geographical Present being Descriptions of the Principal Countries of the World' published in London in 1818, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a female Mamelouk in Cairo, Egypt during the early 19th century. The Mamelukes were a powerful military caste of mostly Christian Coptic and Circassian origin, who served as personal guards and administrators to the Ottoman rulers of Egypt. In the image, a Mamelouk woman, elegantly dressed in traditional attire, is seated on a cushioned terrace, her hands delicately cradling a cup of tea. Her headdress, a tall, conical turban adorned with intricate gold embroidery and a veil, is a striking representation of her ethnicity and social status. A servant, attired in simple clothing, bows respectfully as he presents the tea, emphasizing the hierarchical nature of Mamelouk society. The backdrop of the image is a pyramid and the Sphinx, symbolizing the rich history and ancient heritage of Egypt. Mary Anne Venning, an accomplished author, geographer, and tutor of the Regency and Georgian eras, meticulously documented various aspects of the world, including its people and their customs. This engraving, with its vivid colours and intricate details, is a testament to her dedication and the fascination of the Western world with the exotic and the unfamiliar.
