EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Re di Persia nell'Arem" or "The Shah of Persia in his Harem or Seraglio," is a hand-colored copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1847. The Shah is depicted in a relaxed setting, surrounded by the opulence and luxury of his harem or seraglio. He sits on a richly decorated carpet, with a hookah pipe clutched in one hand and a cushion supporting his back. A begum, or favorite wife, plays the lute nearby, her elegant attire and expressive face capturing the viewer's attention. To the right, a group of women play musical instruments, their faces hidden behind veils, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Servants and eunuchs attend to the Shah's every need, some carrying trays of food and drink, others holding a palanquin or sedan chair. Horses and camels are tethered nearby, suggesting the Shah's mobility and power. The harem or seraglio was a forbidden place for most men, and the Shah's favorite wives and concubines lived there, away from the public eye. The Shah's favorite wife, or begum, held significant power and influence in the royal court. The Shah's wardrobe was also a reflection of his wealth and status, and the illustration showcases the intricate and colorful clothing of the Persian people. Andrea Bernieri's meticulous attention to detail and use of hand-coloring bring this historical scene to life, transporting us back to a time of grandeur and luxury in Persian history.
