Source : Bibliothèque nationale de France
D'Ohsson’s accompanied his account of the Ottoman military forces of land and sea with no fewer than forty-eight single-figure plates. Unusually, not all the images are referenced or explained in the text. The first thirty-two follow page 394 and essentially all pertain to the land forces. The series begins with the Janissaries, starting with the commander (ağa) of the Janissaries, shown in plate 184 and 185 in two different outfits, the term habit de cérémonie implying something like “dress uniform.”
