EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Greek woman and her daughter on Marmara Island. The mother, adorned in traditional attire, wears a headscarf, bodice, and harem pants as she carries a bucket with grace and poise. Her daughter stands beside her, mirroring her mother's elegance. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Octavian Dalvimart beautifully portrays this intimate moment between the two figures. It is taken from William Alexanders translation of Picturesque Representations of the Dress and Manners of the Turks, published in London in 1814. The image transports us back to the Regency era during the Ottoman Empire's reign when travel was an adventure into different cultures. The Greek woman's clothing reflects both fashion trends of that time and her cultural heritage within the Ottoman Empire. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph print offers insight into the rich history and traditions surrounding costume and fashion in Turkey. It also provides a glimpse into daily life on Marmara Island where Greek Orthodox Church influences were prominent. Bridgeman Images has once again curated an exceptional piece that not only showcases artistic talent but also invites viewers to explore diverse cultures through visual storytelling.
