Photograph of Ömer Hasan no. 14

Photograph of Ömer Hasan (1866-c.1946). It was taken outdoors, by an anony­mous street photographer, but the man stands in front of an artificial background with a tree crudely painted on it. He wears a red fes (fez) with a white twisted çevre (kerchief) tied around its lower part. His hair is very short and almost completely covered by the fes (fez), his moustache thick with upturned ends. Over a white fanella (shirt), he wears a front-buttoned jacket (hırka = woollen, or wadded and quilted jacket), a tarablus guşak (Tripoli sash, turk. trablus kuşak) with tassels at the edges, kara dizlik (black knee-breeches), knitted cotton çorap (stockings) with horizontal stripes, all white, and black tab front kundura (shoes, turk. kuntura). The stockings are tied under the knees with black strips.
