EDITORS COMMENTS
This catalog illustration showcases a selection of exquisite donations made during the post-war period in the late 1890s, primarily to aid wounded soldiers and their families in the Middle East, during the final decades of the Ottoman Empire. The first item depicted is a stunning pair of embroidered cloths, crafted from precious silk and velvet, graciously donated by the Sultan's mother, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to the cause. Next, an ancient Yataghan sword with an intricately ornate scabbard, encrusted with coral, is displayed. This magnificent weapon was generously donated by Marshal Hassan Pasha, the esteemed Master of Military Ceremonies, symbolizing the strength and valor of the Ottoman military. Lastly, a beautiful vase from Saxony is featured, kindly donated by Nishan Efendi Kazazian. This fine piece of European craftsmanship adds a sense of diversity and inclusivity to the collection, reflecting the multicultural nature of the Ottoman Empire during this time. This chromolithograph, created in the French style, serves as an illustrated catalog for a fundraising bazaar, highlighting the generosity and patronage of various individuals during a time of great need. The Arabic text in the illustration further emphasizes the Eastern influence on the Ottoman Empire, making this a truly unique and historically significant piece.
