EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite costume of a confectioner at the Sultan's Palace during the 18th century Ottoman Empire. The confectioner is depicted wearing a felt hat, a long green cloak, a striped robe, and yellow slippers. This attire reflects both the cultural traditions and fashion trends of that era. Confectioners in this period were known for their skill in creating delightful treats such as iced fruit sherbets flavored with musk. Their expertise in blending flavors and crafting visually appealing desserts made them highly valued members of the palace staff. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart beautifully captures every intricate detail of this vibrant ensemble. It was later featured in William Alexander's translation of "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks" published by Thomas M Lean in London in 1814. This artwork not only provides us with an insight into historical costume but also offers glimpses into the rich culture and religious practices prevalent during that time. It serves as a visual representation of how clothing played an essential role in expressing identity within Muslim society. Whether you are fascinated by history, art, or simply enjoy exploring different cultures through visuals, this print transports you to another era where elegance met culinary craftsmanship at one of history's most opulent palaces - truly capturing the essence of travel through time.
