Abdul Medjid I, Sultan of Turkey (1854) - A Portrait of Majesty and Power in the Midst of War This black and white portrait captures Abdul Medjid I, the 33rd Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, in the year 1854. The image, published in 'Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly' between December 31, 1853, and December 30, 1854, showcases the Sultan in his imperial grandeur, dressed in traditional Ottoman attire. Abdul Medjid I, also known as Mahmud II's son, ascended to the throne in 1839, during a time of significant political and military turmoil. His reign was marked by the Crimean War (1853-1856), which saw the Ottoman Empire clash with Russia, France, the United Kingdom, and Sardinia. Despite the ongoing conflict, the Sultan's regal appearance in this portrait exudes an air of confidence and resilience. The Sultan's apparel is a testament to the rich history and culture of the Ottoman Empire. He wears a long, flowing robe, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and embellished with precious stones. A red and gold sash, known as a 'selamlik,' is draped around his waist, adding an additional layer of opulence to his ensemble. The portrait's background is simple yet effective, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the Sultan's regal attire and striking features to take center stage. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the Ottoman Empire's enduring legacy and the strength of its monarchy during a time of great upheaval. This photograph, though its creator remains unknown, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing an intriguing insight into the fashion, politics, and culture of the 19th century Ottoman Empire.
