Costume #albums were #books containing characterful #portraits of a number of individuals, produced for a foreign diplomatic audience who wished to obtain detailed images of the different #costumes worn at the time in #Istanbul and had been common in #Ottoman #culture. This impressive album is thought to have been purchased by a member of the diplomatic entourage in Ottoman #Turkey at the end of the nineteenth century, and later acquired by an #Ambassador to Iran. It presents a comprehensive catalogue of the costumes of the #Topkapi #palace and those worn by the military during official ceremonies – a handy guide to identify who was who at the #court of the Sultan.
The artist himself was in fact a lantern-maker, and became a painter only after his shop burned down in Fethiye, during the Bayezid fire, and this is one of only three known albums painted by him.
On view in our #London galleries from 19 October, as part of our Middle Eastern art week.
