EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Turkish woman of the Harem, captured in Pera, Constantinople during the 18th century. The woman is adorned in traditional attire, wearing a sleeveless waistcoat over a beautifully embroidered long robe. Her outfit reflects the rich and vibrant fashion of the Ottoman Empire. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart brings to life the cultural significance and elegance of this Turkish woman's ensemble. The artwork was featured in William Alexander's translation of "Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks" published in London in 1814. The Harem, known as a seraglio, holds great historical importance within Islamic culture. It served as both living quarters for women belonging to wealthy households and as an emblematic symbol of power and luxury during that era. This image not only captures the beauty and intricacy of Turkish fashion but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this period. It serves as a reminder of Istanbul's historical significance as it straddles both Europe and the Middle East. As we admire this stunning portrayal, let us appreciate how art can transport us back in time, allowing us to explore different cultures through their distinctive clothing styles.
