| Notes: | Printed on border: "Of the Delées." "Delee signifies as much as a mad fellow or a hector; these are the prime Viziers lifeguard, and are in number from 100 to 400, more or less, according as the Vizier is more or less rich and splendid in his retinue; their pay is from 12 to 15 Aspers a day; they are by nation of Bosna, or Albania; their habit is very ridiculous according to this picture …" Wrinkles on image; spots on text and border. |
