EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a time when cultural exploration was an adventure of disguise and discovery. The drawing, created by Emile Bayard in the 19th century, depicts a meal shared with the Turkomans in Iraq during Arminius Vambery's journey to Central Asia in 1863. The scene captures the essence of daily life among the Turkomans, showcasing their traditional customs and social interactions. As breakfast is served, individuals engage in lively conversations, immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of Iraqi society. The artist skillfully portrays not only the act of dining but also the underlying values and morals that shape this Middle Eastern community. What makes this image particularly intriguing is Vambery's disguise as a dervish—a Hungarian scientist venturing into unfamiliar territory incognito. This clever ruse allowed him to gain unique insights into local traditions while navigating through uncharted territories. Through Bayard's intricate engraving technique, we are transported back to a time when travel was an art form—an opportunity for intellectual growth and cross-cultural exchange. This print from Leonard de Selva's private collection serves as a window into history, reminding us of our collective human experience across different lands and times. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, let us reflect on how food can bring people together—bridging gaps between cultures—and appreciate those who have dedicated their lives to understanding our world through exploration and disguise.
