About the Item

This print is from 'The Military Costume of Turkey. Illustrated by A Series of Engravings. From Drawings made on the Spot. Dedicated by Permission to His Excellency the Minister of the Ottoman Porte to his Britannic Majesty.' London, Published by Thomas M'Lean, Haymarket, (1818). Folio. One of 29 fine handcoloured aquatint plates . Very light offsetting from plate. The original accompanying text of this print is as follows: 'The Turkish Artillery is served by a corps called Topchis, or gunners, which is said to consist of upwards of thirty thousand men. A corps called Suratchis, or diligents, was also organized for this service, by the Baron de Tott, who was employed by the Porte for that purpose. The Turkish artillery is still, however, far behind-hand with that of the other European nations: they have, however, some extraordinary large pieces, which carry stone balls of several hundred weight, wherewith they managed to do some damage to a British fleet, under the command of Admiral Duckworth, in the passage of the Dardanelles, a few years back.'
