Habit of the Sultaness in 1749

by Thomas Jefferys

This stunning mid-18th century engraving by Thomas Jefferys from 1749 offers an elaborate glimpse into the ceremonial/courtly dress worn by an Ottoman Sultaness. The engraving highlights the intricacies involved in "Eastern" fashion which captured the imagination of Europeans during the Enlightenment period. The print depicts the elaborate folds of the garments worn, complete with elaborate motifs and headpieces that symbolized a high standing in society. This piece is highly significant as a primary document for the study of historical costume and its perception among Europeans.
