EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jezzar Pacha, a prominent figure in Middle Eastern history. The color engraving depicts him in a moment of authority and justice as he condemns a criminal. Jezzar Pacha, also known as Djezzar Pasha or the Butcher, was the governor of Acre during the late 18th century. The image captures his commanding presence with a white turban adorning his head and an impressive beard that frames his face. His hand is raised, pointing towards the condemned individual, emphasizing his power and determination to uphold law and order. Jezzar Pacha's significance extends beyond this particular scene; he famously withstood Napoleon's siege on Acre in 1799. This act of resistance solidified his reputation as a formidable leader who defended against foreign invasions. The artist behind this remarkable work is Edward Orme, who skillfully translated F. B. Spilsbury's sketch into this vibrant engraving. Preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artifact offers us insight into both Jezzar Pacha's life and the turbulent times he lived in. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to an era where justice was served with unwavering resolve. It serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience displayed by individuals like Jezzar Pacha throughout history.
