EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving portrays Selim I, a formidable figure and one of the most significant Sultans in the history of the Ottoman Empire. Born in 1467, Selim ascended to the throne in 1512, following the death of his father, Bayezid II. Selim's reign marked the beginning of the Ottoman military and territorial expansion into Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The Sultan's fierce reputation was earned through his military prowess and unyielding determination. He led several successful campaigns against the Safavids in the east and the Mamluks in the west, extending the Ottoman Empire's borders to their greatest extent. Selim's military conquests not only solidified the Ottoman Empire's status as a major world power but also contributed to the spread of Ottoman culture and influence. This engraving, with its intricate details and rich colors, captures the essence of Selim I's regal presence. The Sultan is depicted wearing traditional Ottoman attire, adorned with jewels and holding a bow and arrow. His piercing gaze and strong posture convey a sense of power and authority. The background features various symbols of the Ottoman Empire, including the crescent moon and star and the double-headed eagle. This print is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the Ottoman Empire and the enduring legacy of Selim I. It is a valuable addition to any collection of portraits or Ottoman history, offering a glimpse into the past and the remarkable life of one of the most influential figures in world history.
