EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Hussein Sermed Affendi (1830-1886), a prominent Turkish diplomat of the late 19th century. The portrait was created by the Spanish artist Arturo Carretero y Sanchez (1852-1903) and was published in 'La Ilustracion Espanola y Americana' in 1886. Born in Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire, Affendi began his diplomatic career in the 1850s, representing Turkey in various European capitals. He played a significant role in the diplomacy between the Ottoman Empire and European powers during a period of great political and social change. Affendi's diplomatic skills and knowledge of European politics were highly regarded, making him a valuable asset to the Ottoman diplomatic corps. The engraving captures Affendi in the prime of his career, dressed in the traditional attire of the Ottoman elite. He is depicted with a serious expression, suggesting the weight of responsibility that came with his position. The use of color adds depth and richness to the portrait, making Affendi stand out against the plain background. Carretero y Sanchez's skillful engraving captures the essence of Affendi's character and the historical period in which he lived. The portrait offers a glimpse into the world of Turkish diplomacy during the late Ottoman Empire and the complex relationships between Turkey and European powers. Today, it serves as an important reminder of the significant role that diplomats like Affendi played in shaping the political landscape of the 19th century.
