I have two great books showing ottoman peoples.  There are hundreds of engravings in these books.  It is a really different world, it is like a dream. I think that, our ancestors had better clothes than which we have now...

I would like to share some of the engravings with you. It has been really hard to choose engravings for me from hundreds of them.
