About the Item
Antique Engraving – Layout of the King of Persia’s Field Camp, 18th Century
Fascinating 18th-century engraved plan depicting the arrangement of the royal encampment of the King of Persia. The detailed layout shows the precise placement of the king’s central pavilion, the tents of his guards, the princes’ quarters, the chancery, and other military and ceremonial structures. Surrounding the royal enclosure are orderly rows of tents for troops, officials, and service areas, with careful attention to scale and proportions. This image reflects the grandeur and organisation of a Persian royal field army, where the entire encampment could extend over four to five leagues, as noted in the French text. The engraving offers a unique combination of military precision and courtly splendour, making it both a historical document and a work of art. Produced during the Enlightenment era, it would have been intended for readers eager to learn about foreign customs, military science, and the magnificence of Eastern courts. This rare print is not only an invaluable resource for historians of Persian history and military architecture but also a striking decorative piece for collectors of antique prints.
