EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Arnaout and Osmanli Soldiers in Alexandria" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Egypt. The illustration, originally engraved by Mouilleron and published by Lemercier in 1848, beautifully captures the essence of this era. In the image, we see a group of soldiers dressed in elaborate military uniforms, representing both Arnaout (Albanian) and Osmanli (Ottoman) troops. Their distinctive costumes showcase intricate details that reflect their cultural heritage. The soldiers are depicted smoking pipes and hookahs, adding an air of mystique to the scene. The artist behind this masterpiece is Emile Prisse d'Avennes, whose talent shines through every stroke. His attention to detail transports us to Alexandria, where these soldiers once roamed its ancient streets. The composition exudes an orientalist charm that was popular during this period. It offers a glimpse into Egyptian culture with its traditional slippers adorning the feet of these brave warriors.
