About the Item
The engraving shows two Mamluks: one in full military attire, and the other, of a higher order, in full ceremonial dress. The detailed illustration captures the distinctiveness of their apparel, reflecting their status and role within Egyptian society during the period when Mamluks held significant military and political power. The background, featuring architectural elements and palm trees, places them firmly in the Egyptian landscape, hinting at the country's rich cultural and historical context.
The Mamluks were a warrior class who originated as slave soldiers. They held power in Egypt from the 13th to the early 16th centuries, establishing a sultanate that lasted until the Ottoman conquest. Renowned for their military prowess, the Mamluks successfully defended Egypt against the Mongols and the Crusaders. Their governance was characterized by a complex social and political structure, with a hierarchy based on military achievements and patronage. Despite their slave origins, Mamluks could rise to high positions of power and influence, with many going on to become sultans and governors.
Description: This is a circa 1801 copperplate engraving from George Alexander Cooke's "Universal Geography" .
The print is part of George Alexander Cooke's comprehensive work "A Modern and Authentic System of Universal Geography." This book was a significant compilation of geographical knowledge during the late 18th century, offering descriptions and accounts of various parts of the world, influenced by the age of exploration. It includes narratives of famed explorers like Captain James Cook and Ferdinand Magellan, detailing their discoveries and journeys that expanded the European understanding of the globe. Cooke's work served as both a chronicle and reference for the territories and cultures encountered by these voyagers.
