Notes

General Note:
Original bound in volume 3 of 3.
General Note:
Hand-drawn, with hand colouring.
General Note:
Also attributed to Octavian Dalvimart, engraved by various artists, and published by William Miller in a volume entitled 'Costume Of Turkey' (London, 1802). This is likely not the case as the style of this illustration is different from that of Dalvimart. Indeed, Dalvimart appears to have been a copist; his images and their settings bear a strong likeness to those of Cousinéry.
General Note:
Spahis were the light cavalry soldiers of the Ottoman army; Spahi originates from the Persian word meaning horseman
General Note:
Les spahis étaient des soldats d'unités de cavalerie appartenant à l'Armée Ottoman
