EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Greek costumes from the 19th century, captured in an engraving by the Italian School of the same era. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the rich historical attire worn by Greeks during this period. The print features two distinct figures: A - a Greek chief, depicted after a painting by Peter Hesse, and B - a Greek Guard of Diplomatic Agents in Turkey, based on a drawing from life by Todeschini of Milan. These illustrations were originally published in Raphael Jacquemin's Iconographie Général et Méthodique du Costume du IV au XIX siècle (Paris, 1869) and engraved by Delatre. The costumes showcased here are not only visually stunning but also hold great cultural significance. They represent an important aspect of European history as they reflect the diplomatic relations between Greece and Turkey during that time. The presence of these guards highlights their role as protectors for diplomats within Turkish territory. Through this engraving, we gain insight into both social customs and military traditions prevalent in Greece during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how clothing can be used to express identity and heritage while also offering valuable insights into historical events that shaped Europe's past.
