AN ICHLOGAN order (Ottoman - Costume) Original

Stipple engraving of AN ICHLOGAN (Costume - Ottoman Empire)

Hand colored.

Published by W. Miller. London. Engravings dated 1802,

An exquisitely engraved and hand colored image, from Octavian Dalvimart's "The Costume of Turkey" which was first published in 1802.

Each hand-colored plate, drawn from life in 1798 by Octavien Dalvimart and stipple-engraved by John Dadley and William Poole, is accompanied by an explanation of the figure's role, responsibility and details of dress, written by Miller (misattributed by Hiler to William Alexander).

In Plate X, there was given the portrait of a Page of the Grand Signior. The present plate represents on of the Ichlogans, a body of young man, from whom the pages are selected. The nature of this institution has already been explained in the description of the before-mentioned plate. A great number of them are also brought up in the interior of the Seraglio, besides those in the suburb of Pera; and the white eunuchs, to whose care they are entrusted, frequently treat them with a greatest severity.

Very good condition. An attractive print together with a separate sheet of descriptive text in both English and French.
