EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Nasi, after Giulio Ferrario, captures a poignant moment in the daily life of a Muezzin, or Islamic religious leader, as he performs the call to prayer, or Adhan, from the minaret of a mosque. Dressed in traditional robes and wearing a turban adorned with beads and decorative elements, the Muezzin stands amidst a group of young boys, likely preparing for their own rite of passage, circumcision. The scene is set against the backdrop of goats and other animals, symbolizing the sacrifices made during religious celebrations. The engraving is taken from Ignace Mouradgea d'Ohsson's Tableau General de L'Empire Ottoman, published in Paris in 1790. It offers a historical and cultural glimpse into the fashion and traditions of the Ottoman Empire during the late 18th century. The intricate details of the Muezzin's attire, the boys' curious expressions, and the lively scene of animals in the background make this an exquisite and evocative illustration of the Islamic faith and its practices.
