A rare photograph of janissary outfit displayed in the old Military Museum in Istanbul. The museum was open between 1908-1940 years and a number of Ottoman military figures were exhibited in realistic fashion with original costumes. (The picture is taken from an article by Alaeddin Avcı, published in April 1977 in a history magazine, Hayat Tarih Mecmuası)
