EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Coup d'Etat in Constantinople, Turkey, 1913. The lithograph, created by Henry Marriott Paget and now held in a private collection, provides a glimpse into the political turmoil that engulfed the Ottoman Empire during this period. In the image, we witness Mahmud Shevket Pasha, the Grand Vizier to Sultan Mehmet V, alongside the Sheikh ul-Islam arriving at the Sublime Porte. Their presence is marked by an air of authority and determination as they wave to onlookers from their carriage. The scene depicted here represents more than just a simple arrival; it symbolizes power dynamics and shifting alliances within Turkish politics. Against the backdrop of Constantinople's iconic architecture and bustling streets, this engraving transports us back to a time when Europe and Middle East were intricately connected through trade routes and cultural exchange. As we delve deeper into this historical narrative, it becomes evident that religion played a significant role in shaping events. With references to Muslim leaders such as Sheikh ul-Islam present in this image, we are reminded of how Islam influenced both personal beliefs and political decisions during this era. Through its meticulous details and expert craftsmanship, this litho invites us to explore not only Turkish culture but also broader themes of power struggles and societal transformations across Europe and the Middle East. It serves as a reminder of how art can provide invaluable insights into our shared past while igniting curiosity about our collective
