About the Item

Lithograph on wove paper. Signed in the plate. Image dimension: 28.5x21 cm. Moderate foxing around the sheet, mostly in the margins; light edge wear; image area sharp, well-inked, and intact. This lithograph by Auguste Raffet depicts a group of Arnauts (Albanian-origin troops) serving as coastal guards in Philadelphie (present-day Alasehir, Turkey) during the 19th century under the Ottoman Empire. They are shown in disciplined formation, wearing tall cylindrical caps and dark tunics, with rifles at rest. Raffet’s composition balances crisp uniform detail with an almost sculptural arrangement of figures, underscoring both the formality and exoticism with which European viewers regarded Ottoman military forces at the time.
