EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Hamal, or common porter, in his traditional attire. The turban adorning his head adds an air of elegance and cultural significance to his appearance. His shirt, pants, and gaiters are meticulously designed with intricate patterns that reflect the rich heritage of Turkish or Armenian fashion. The image provides a glimpse into the daily life of these porters in Pera as they carry their burdens on their backs between hips and shoulders. Their strength and resilience are evident as they navigate through bustling streets, fulfilling their essential role in society. Handcoloured copperplate engraving brings this historical scene to life, capturing the vibrant colors and details of the clothing worn by this hamal. This particular print is part of William Alexander's translation of "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks" published in London during the Regency era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when travel was an adventure filled with diverse cultures and unique costumes. It serves as a reminder not only of Turkey's Ottoman Empire but also highlights Islamic fashion during that period. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates history, tradition, and the beauty found within different cultures around the world.
