EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the reading of the act of deposition to Sultan Abdul Hamid II at the Yildiz Palace in Constantinople. The vibrant colours of this lithograph by Carrey bring to life the dramatic scene that unfolded during this pivotal event. Abdul Hamid II, who had lost his powers in the Young Turk Revolution, faced further challenges when conservatives attempted a counter-coup in 1909. However, their efforts proved unsuccessful, leading to his ultimate deposition as Sultan. This marked a turning point for the Ottoman Empire and its monarchy. The image showcases the solemnity and gravity of this political upheaval. It portrays an atmosphere charged with tension as officials gather within the opulent walls of Yildiz Palace to read aloud the act that would strip Abdul Hamid II of his power. The expressions on their faces reveal both determination and trepidation. The significance of this moment cannot be understated; it symbolizes not only a change in leadership but also represents broader shifts within Turkish politics and society at large. As Abdul Hamid II is deposed, he is replaced by his brother Mehmed V, ushering in a new era for Turkey. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of how political forces can shape nations and alter destinies. It invites us to reflect upon historical events that have shaped our world today while offering glimpses into an empire's past glory and subsequent transformation.
