ARIF PASHA, Muchir (b. 1807)

Les anciens costumes de l’empire ottoman. Paris: Lemercier, [1863].

The Atabey copy of a fine work on the costume of the Ottoman court. Arif Pasha fought against the Greeks at Athens and at Euboea (1826-1828), and in Syria against Mehmet Ali. His career included a number of missions for the Sultan and his appointment in 1861 as governor of the province of Silistria. The lithographed title has 'Tome 1er' above the imprint, although nothing further was published in French or Turkish. Atabey 29 (this copy); Blackmer 43 (without Turkish text); Bobins I, 118; Colas 148 (giving date of [1864]); Lipperheide Lb 64.

Text in Ottoman Turkish and French, lithographic title in French printed in bistre, lithographic portrait of Arif Pacha and 16 lithographic plates printed in colours with some additional hand-colouring, captions in Turkish and French (one plate slightly trimmed and repaired in margin, some spotting and marginal damp-staining).
