Show moreThe name of the Shaykh is indicated only in the French version of the title. The three servants depicted in the picture are the so-called aghas, the Abyssinian guardians of the Prophet's Mosque; aghas were responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the holy mosques and they also guarded the Prophet ’s tomb. Two aghas sit to the left and right of the seated shaykh, while the third servant stands behind him. All of them are looking into the camera. The photograph was taken indoor, against a blank white backdrop and it recalls classical late 19th-century studio portraits. Date and title from item.

Show moreAlbum collecting 24 of the 28 plates engraved after the drawings by Francis Smith as an illustration to the account by Lord Baltimore printed in 1768. Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, was an English nobleman. He lived in Istanbul between 1763 and 1764. He travelled to the East in the company of artist Fr. Smith, whose drawings illustrated Lord Baltimore's editions. In 1768, he was charged with rape, and although he was acquitted, left England in the face of public hostility. Reaching Naples in July or August 1771, Calvert died there on 14 September. The collection was probably assembled by the Italian engraver Carlo Nolli, to whose work the rest of the plates are related. He acquired directly or posthumously the copper plates by Lord Baltimore, who spent his last months in Naples in 1771. V. Grand Vizier -- VI. Reis Effendi, Principal Secretary of State. -- VII.
