ARIF PASHA, Muchir (1807- ?) Les anciens costumes de l’empire ottoman. Paris: Lemercier, [1863].

A fine work by Arif Pasha 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 Silistria. This work was issued with explanatory text in either French or in Ottoman Turkish, or sometimes both. The lithographed title has 'Tome 1er' above the imprint, although nothing further was published in French or Turkish. Atabey 29; Blackmer 43; Colas 148 (giving date of [1864]); Lipperheide Lb 64.

Two parts in one volume, all published, folio (529 x 375mm). Text in French. With lithographic title in French printed in bistre, lithographic portrait of Arif Pacha and 16 lithographic plates printed in colors, captions in Turkish and French (title and portrait with light spotting, some marginal foxmarks to plates). Modern red half roan, spine gilt-lettered.
