First edition of both plates and text of an important Ottoman costume book. “This splendid production ... contains what may be the only wholly original representations of Turkish costumes since Nicolay” (Koç). The hand-colored plates include the iconic double-page illustration of the dervishes dancing at Pera. Charles de Ferriol, the French ambassador to Constantinople brought the painter Jean-Baptiste de van Mour with him to the city—the 102 engravings here are after his work, which records a wide swath of social classes, nationalities, and religions, and was enormously influential to European understandings of the Ottoman world. In the present copy, the plates are bound intermingled with the text; often, they are found in separate volumes. Blackmer 591; Colas 1819-20.
