Very Good English Original hand-coloured engraved plate. Slightly chipped on paper. Edges gilt. Large 4to. (37 x 27 cm). With its separate sheet of descriptive bilingual text in English and French. An attractive, richly colored and detailed engraved image. Very good, bright. An original plate from Dalvimart's famous and extremely rare work 'The costume of Turkey', first edition in 1802. Little is known about Octavien Dalvimart, besides the facts that he worked in Britain as painter and engraver, and that he was living in Paris in 1803. According to the prologue to this edition, he travelled during four years (starting in 1796), always drew from nature, and was in Athens in 1797. This elegant work was first published in 1802, and again in 1818 and 1820. It includes 60 drawings of human types from the Ottoman Empire. (Abbey Travel 370; Colas 782; Lipperheide 1422). The explanatory texts, in English and French, are based on extracts from works by Baron de Tott, J. Dallaway, G.A. Olivier, M. Montague, J. Pitton de Tournefort, ?ouradgea d'Ohsson and others. Dalvimart's drawings have been used in similar albums and illustrated other travel accounts. Human types are precisely drawn and handsomely depicted in very real colors. "This may be considered as the companion of the last plat. The dress, though not elegant, is not uninteresting. The Arabian women of the desert wear a number singular ornaments; large metal rings in the ears, others of the same kind upon the ancles and arms, pieces of coral hung about hem, and also necklaces of all sorts. They sometimes even hang small bells to their hair, and the young girls fix them to their feet. And it is not an uncommon custom among the Bedouins, as with the more civilized Arabians, to puncture different parts of the body and insert a blue dye.". etc.

"No dress can possibly be better calculated to conceal the person, than that worn by the Turkish females, both in Constantinople and the country, whenever appear abroad. No woman is ever seen without her maharmah, which is generally formed of muslin; one part of which fastens under the chin, and encloses the head, the other crosses the mouth and nose, and admits only space enough to see from. They also constantly wear a feredje, which entirely envelops their whole person". = "Il n'est pas d'habillemet mieux invente pour se cacher, que celui que portent les femmes Turques, lorsqu'elles proîssen dans les rues de Constantinople, ou dans le campagne. On ne vot jamais de femme sans son maharmah, qui est ordinairement fait de mousseline. Une partie s'aatche sous le menton, et enveloppe le tête; l'autre traverse la bouche et le nez, et laisse a peine assez d'espace pour y voir. Elles portent aussi un feredje, dont elles s'enveloppent entierement".

"This plate, which represents the dress of an inhabitant of the coast of Syria, is also very similar to that worn by the Asiatic Janissaries. It is highly picturesque, and very different from the janissaries of Constantinople. In many eastern countries the climate is very variable, and the inhabitants therefore are obliged to clothe themselves warmer than Europeans perhaps might think it necessary, and to put on several kinds of dress, one over the other, that they may either lay them aside or resume them at their pleasure, as the temperature of the atmosphere varies. The blue cloak thrown over the left shoulder is for that purpose". = "Cette planche represente le costume d'un habitant de la côte de Syrie. Il ressemble beaucoup a celui des Jannisaires Asiatiques. Il est tres pittoresque, et differe beaucoup du costumes des Jannisaires de Constantinople. Dans la pluspart des pays de l'orient le climat est res variable, et les habitans sont obliges par consequent de s'habiller plus chaudement que des Europeens ne le croiroient necessaire. Ils mettent divers habillemens l'un sur l'autre; il les otent, ou les remettent a volonte, selon les variations de l'atmsphere. Le manteau bleu sur l'epaule gauche est pour cet usage"."

"Simia is one of the numerous islands scattered all over the Archipelago. It is at a very small distance from the Asiatic coast, and a little to the north of the island of Rhodes. Most of these islands were formerly the cause of frequent wars, and were sometimes subject to one power, sometimes to another, and many of them were often also independent of all. They have now, however, for a great length of time, been subject to the Turkish government, which derives an annual tribute from each of them. It has been remarked before, that the dress of the women in many of these islands was extremely picturesque and becoming. The present, perhaps, is only partially so, on account of the concealment of the lower part of the face; as well as on account of the form of the body, which is too undeterminate, and therefore appears ill-formed". = "Simie est une de ces isles qui sont repandues en grand nombre dans l'Archipel. Elle est fort pres de la côte d'Asie, et en peu au nord de l'isle de Rhodes. Ces isles ont ete jadis la cause de guerres frequente, et ont apartenues, tantôt a un pouvoir, tantôt a un autre; quelques une ont souvent aussi ete independentes.

"This is the dress of a Turk, whenever he ventures abroad on foot: but this, among the higher ranks, is never done in the streets of Constantinople. The clokes are generally ornamented with rich and valuable furs, and the châlls [sic. shals] or shawls, are also very richly worked. The male dress of the Turks is regulated by sumptuary laws, and is distinctive of the different classes, but the females are permitted to wear any sort of ornament they choose. The TUrks of any considerable rank in life consider it as a degradation to be seen walking; and they constantly go about the city on horseback, accompanied by a numerous train of servants on foot. Some very pompous and rich individuals have been known to have above an hundred in their train. These are always as richly dressed, and as numerous as possible at any of their feasts, particularly that of the Beyram (sic. Bayram)". = "Tel est l'habillement d'un Turc toutes les fois qu'il lui rrive de sortir a pied. Mais c'est ce que les gens de distinction ne font jamais dans les rues de Constantinople.

"The varieties of female dress in most of the eastern nations can never be distinguished when they are in the streets, both form their veils and the long cloaks in which they are concealed. At Cairo they conceal the head and part of the body by a large black veil; and those who can afford rich habits, are always covered with a large wrapper. The veil, which is always the first concern with the women, for it is the very last part of their dress they would part with, is formed of a long triangular piece of linen cloth fitted to the head, and falling down before, so as to cover all the face except the eyes. At Cairo this is always black, and very large. All the oriental women wear drawers, and the poorer sort in Egypt wear little ese but these drawers, and a long blue shirt.". etc.

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Folio. (31 x 22 cm). In English, Turkish and Arabic. 303 p., photos, ills. and documents. The prisoners of war in the Red Crescent archive documents.= Kizilay arsivi belgelerinde savas esirleri. The Turkish Red Crescent (Kizilay, formerly Hilâl-i Ahmer) is a charity organization founded during the late Ottoman period on the model of the Red Cross societies. Its activities in the areas of medicine, care for prisoners of war, and other social services, particularly during the World War I period and the early years of the Turkish Republic, make the archives of this organization a vital resource for historians interested in medicine, public health, war, and charity alike during this formative period. The Red Crescent archives contain a variety of documents pertaining to health and health services in the Ottoman Empire and Republican Turkey. For the Ottoman period (including World War I), these documents almost exclusively concern budget and funding issues along with services pertaining to war, particularly the 1877-78 Russo-Ottoman War (93 Harbi), the Italian invasion of Libya, the Balkan Wars, and of course, the First World War. There is very little overlap between the collections of the Ottoman archives and the Red Crescent. In addition to offering a glimpse at late Ottoman medical institutions, social historians of the Ottoman Empire will also be drawn to documentation regarding Ottoman prisoners of war, which includes letters about and by Ottoman soldiers. The Red Crescent boasts over 300,000 POW cards from all sides of the conflict containing the names and origins of prisoners, their place of capture, and sometimes other biographical or health information. The collection also contain letters and requests from prisoners of war during the conflict. In this regard, researchers of other regions such as Europe or South Asia will find these archives useful as the Red Crescent was the intermediary between the Allies and Allied prisoners held in Ottoman territories...
