EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of an Egyptian Arab woman during the 18th century. The image, a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and fashion of the Ottoman Empire. The woman in the picture wears a striking black triangular linen veil that elegantly covers half of her face, known as a half niqab. Her head is adorned with a white headscarf, adding to her modest yet alluring appearance. Draped in a long blue robe, she exudes grace and sophistication as she carries two bowls. Every detail in this artwork has been meticulously captured - from the intricate patterns on her robe to the delicate slippers adorning her feet. The artist's attention to detail transports us back in time to experience the beauty and elegance of traditional Islamic dress. This enchanting piece is part of William Alexander's translation titled "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of Turks" published in London during 1814. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of fashion during this period. As we admire this remarkable print, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its significance in preserving cultural heritage for generations to come.
