EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Persian" from the Recueil d Estampes sur les Costumes du Levant, a collection of prints depicting costumes from the Levant region. Engraved by Gerard Jean Baptiste Scotin in 1707-08, this colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of Persian attire and appearance during the 18th century. Intriguingly, this project was initiated by M. de Ferriol, the French ambassador to the Sublime Porte, who sought to document and preserve the diverse cultural costumes found in the Levant. The Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris now houses this remarkable collection. The image features a distinguished male figure dressed impeccably in traditional Persian clothing. His attire includes a turban adorned with intricate details, reflecting his refined taste and attention to fashion. A well-groomed moustache further enhances his sophisticated appearance. Noteworthy accessories such as a sword, axe, and knife add an air of mystery and intrigue to this elegant ensemble. The combination of these elements creates an aura of power and authority associated with Persia's rich history. Through this enchanting engraving, we are transported back in time to witness not only exquisite craftsmanship but also gain insight into how individuals expressed their identity through clothing during that era. This print serves as a testament to both artistic talent and cultural preservation efforts that continue to captivate audiences today.
