Living in the Ottoman Realm. Empire and Identity, 13th to 20th Centuries

Figure 15.2 Quirijn Fonbonne (engraver), “Osman Pacha, Formerly the Comte de Bon-
neval.” Frontispiece from D’Argens, Anecdotes vénitiennes et turques [Venetian and Turkish
anecdotes, or the new memoirs of the comte de Bonneval]. This image, plagiarized from a
1712 print of a Janissary officer, was one of many similar imagined portraits of Bonneval that
graced the various fake memoirs. (Reproduced by permission of the Départment Estampes et
