EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is an 18th century hand-colored copperplate engraving depicting a man and a woman from the Morea Eyalet, located in the Peloponnese region of Greece, during the Ottoman Empire. The engraving is taken from Francois Pouqueville's "Travels through Morea, Albania and several other parts of the Ottoman Empire," published in 1805. The illustration was created by Dell Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti for the "Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti," a collection of the most interesting voyages published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The man is dressed in traditional Ottoman attire, wearing a long, flowing robe and a fez adorned with a red tassel. He holds a staff in one hand and a small bag in the other. The woman, wearing a colorful headscarf and a long, flowing dress, carries a large basket on her back. The background shows a rocky landscape with olive trees and a small village in the distance. This image provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people of the Morea Eyalet during the Ottoman period. The intricate details of their clothing and the beautiful hand-coloring bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a place of rich history and culture. The image is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time, and a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Peloponnese region of Greece.
