EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur and opulence of the Marriage Procession of Fatma Sultan, the 14-year-old daughter of the Ottoman Sultan Abdulmecid I, as she makes her way to her wedding ceremony with Ali Galip Pasha in Constantinople, 1854. The scene unfolds on the streets of the imperial city, with a band of musicians on horseback leading the way. Turkish grandees, dressed in richly embroidered garments and riding fine Arabian horses, follow, including the Sheik-ul-Islam, the Turkish Pope, dressed in snow-white robes. A number of eunuchs, some carrying parasols, accompany the procession. The golden carriage of the bride, drawn by six fine English black horses, is a magnificent sight, with the Chief of the Eunuchs, adorned with stars and cordons, leading the way. The Chief of Ulemas, an aged man dressed in white, follows, along with servants on foot wearing the Sultan's livery. The grand procession reflects the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the Ottoman Empire, a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the time.
