Partly uncut and untrimmed. Hilye-i Hakanî. AH: 1307 = AD: 1890. The term hilya denotes both a visual form in Ottoman art and a religious genre of Ottoman Turkish literature each dealing with the physical description of Muhammad. Hilya literally means "ornament". They originate with the discipline of shama'il the study of Muhammad's appearance and character based on hadith accounts most notably Tirmidhi's al-Shama'il al-Muhamadiyyah wa al-Khasa'il al-Mustafawiyyah "The Sublime Characteristics of Muhammad". In Ottoman-era folk Islam there was a belief that reading and possessing Muhammad's description protects the person from trouble in this world and the next it became customary to carry such descriptions rendered in fine calligraphy and illuminated as amulets. In 17th-century Ottoman Turkey hilyes developed into an art form with a standard layout often framed and used as a wall decoration. Later hilyes were also written for the first four Caliphs the companions of Muhammad Muhammad's grandchildren Hasan and Hussein and Islamic saints walis. Mehmed Hakani Beg's 'Hilye' is one of the first example of the 'hilye' literature in the Turkish / Ottoman world. Özege 7631.; Not in TBTK It has earlier and later editions. <br/> <br/> N. p.

The figure is shown in ritual dress with feathered headdress skirted regalia and ceremonial staff rendered in vivid hand-applied color. Works of this type circulated in illustrated ethnographic and geographic publications intended to introduce European audiences to Indigenous cultures of the Americas.</p> <br /> <p class="pf0">Hand-colored wood engraving xylography. Image size approx. 9.5 × 6.25 inches 24.2 × 15.5 cm. German caption beneath image. Presented professionally matted and ready for framing.</p> <br /> <p class="pf0">The sheet presents with strong well-preserved hand coloring and expected light age toning to the paper. A subtle indentation is present above the figure's head extending through the upper portion of the spear; this is shallow angle-dependent and does not break the paper surface. Minor impression from handling consistent with age. Right vertical edge slightly irregular as issued or trimmed. Overall a clean visually striking example.</p> <br /> <p class="pf0">Iconography Note: Contains a 19th-century European representation of Indigenous ceremonial dress and practice. Presented as a historical artifact of its time and valued for its documentary and visual record not as an endorsement of period assumptions or interpretations.</p> . The engraving is attributed to L. Lisbet and corresponds to an example held in the New York Public Library Digital Collections confirming period production and subject consistency. Such images are valued for their documentary role in early visual interpretations of Native Californian life while also reflecting 19th-century European perspectives and conventions.<br /> <br /> <br /> <p>Subjects: Native Californians Indigenous Ceremonial Dress California History Ethnography European Views of the Americas Americana Western Americana Ethnographic Prints 19th-Century Illustration.</p> Unknown unknown

Note: Field in his INDIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY pp. 49-50 of the 1857 edition opined "The last half of the title-page must have been written by the publisher and the illustrations drawn by his infant son as the Preface and Text indicate too respectable a mind to have concocted such a farrago involving at least half a dozen falsehoods regarding the plates which are the most tawdry and offensive daubs." Field continued "The work is fairly executed and contains much condensed information . . " Bennett's AMERICAN COLOR PLATE BOOKS 1800-1900 lists the later 1856 edition and as having only 34 full-page plates. Gurdon Bill hardcover
