EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the costume of a Dervish from the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. The image showcases a man dressed in traditional attire, wearing a blue or red cap, coarse tunic, and a sheepskin cape. Hanging from his leather belt is a wooden bowl, symbolizing his humble lifestyle. The intricate details of this engraving are brought to life within an ornate decorative frame engraved by H. Catenacci and Fellmann. The woodblock engraving itself was created by Gerard Seguin and E. F. Huyot after an original woodcut by Christoph Krieger. This historical artwork offers us a glimpse into the religious orders and traditions that shaped society during this period. The Dervishes were members of Muslim religious orders known for their ascetic practices and devotion to Islam. Through this print, we can appreciate not only the craftsmanship of the artist but also gain insight into the cultural significance of traditional costumes within Islamic societies. This 19th-century reproduction allows us to explore history through art, offering us valuable knowledge about fashion trends, social customs, and religious practices prevalent during both the Ottoman Empire's reign and the Renaissance era when it was originally created. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an educational tool for those interested in delving deeper into our rich historical past.
