Antique Print of Capitan Pacha, The Military Costume of Turkey, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
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 Capitan Pacha has the supreme command of the Turkish Navy, in which he has the appointment of all the principal officers. His power also extends over the islands of the Archipelago, where he sails every Spring for the purpose of receiving the capitation tax.
The Turkish navy is chiefly navigated by Greek sailors, whilst Turkish soldiers are embarked for the purposes of attack and defence. The thirtyfirst ortah, or regiment, of Janizaries, whose symbol is an anchor, are chiefly employed for this last purpose, which therefore bears some analogy to our marine corps. The great height between the decks of the Turkish men...

Rustic Reflections: 1825 Peasant Scene Engraving by Ludwig Emil Grimm
Located in Langweer, NL
The antique print described is a captivating representation of rural life from the early 19th century, engraved by Ludwig Emil Grimm and published around 1825. Ludwig Emil Grimm, born in 1790 in Germany, was a notable artist and engraver of the time, known for his skill in capturing the essence of everyday life, particularly in rural settings.
**Key Elements of the Print:**
1. **Subject Matter**: The print depicts two peasants in traditional attire, engaged in a moment of rest or conversation. This subject is typical of the Romantic era, which often romanticized rural life and the simplicity of the peasantry.
2. **The Woman**: She is shown sitting with a fruit basket in her right hand, suggesting a scene of harvest or market life. Her left hand raised to her chin indicates a moment of thought or conversation, adding a reflective or contemplative quality to the scene.
3. **The Man**: Holding a shepherd's staff, he represents the pastoral life, a common theme in art that idealizes the shepherd's connection with nature and the countryside.
4. **Costumes and Detailing**: The 'antique costume' implies traditional rural attire, which would have been specific to the region and period, providing a historical insight into the fashion and lifestyle of rural populations in the early 1800s.
5. **Artistic Style**: Grimm's style is likely to reflect the Romantic movement, characterized by its emphasis on emotion, nature, and the glorification of the past. His work often contained a level of detail that brought a sense of realism and authenticity to his subjects.
6. **Cultural and Historical Significance**: This print serves as a window into the early 19th-century rural life, reflecting the social, cultural, and economic conditions of the time. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives and roles of peasants in the early 1800s.
7. **Ludwig Emil Grimm's Legacy**: As a member of the Grimm family, Ludwig was lesser-known compared to his brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm...

Antique Print of Mameluke of Egypt, the Military Costume of Turkey, 1818
Located in Langweer, NL
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 Mamelukes who till very lately formed the military force of Egypt, were said not to exceed twelve thousand men, and were slaves imported from Circassia and Mingrelia. They were carefully instructed in every exercise of strength and agility, and usually repayed the kindness of their masters, the Beys, with the warmest gratitude and most valiant services. The Mamelukes being trained from their infancy to military exercises, displayed in them uncommon skill. The javelin aimed with precision, was never known but to strike the mark. "The well-tempered blade of Damascus," says Sonnini, "is by them wielded with astonishing dexterity, and in their hands proves a most dreadful weapon." He often observed them try these weapons in the following manner :—A large cushion stuffed with feathers or materials equally soft and flexible, was placed about the height of a man, in such a manner, that the slightest touch would cause it to fall, which they would divide with a single stroke of the sabre, whilst passing it on horseback at full speed. Such astonishing expertness joined to most excellent horsemanship, would, were they acquainted with European tactics, render them invincible; but formidable, as they individually appeared, their prowess became of little effect when opposed to the collective weight of a charge in squadron. Their horses possessed, in an eminent degree, the qualities most useful to man, inexhaustible strength, prodigious speed and inconceivable temperance, to which may be added the most perfect symmetry of form. The dress constantly worn by the inferior Mamelukes, was a pair of large crimson drawers of thick Venetian cloth attached to slippers of red leather, and a greenish cap of a peculiar form, fancifully decorated with a turban. Their usual arms were a pair of pistols...
