"A Persian Harem, from 'Le Costume Ancien et Moderne'" is an illustration that appears in a comprehensive historical work on the costumes and customs of people around the world, authored by Giulio Ferrario and illustrated by various artists, including G. Bramati. The work, originally published in Italian as "Il Costume Antico e Moderno" in the early 19th century, provides a detailed visual and textual representation of the clothing traditions and ways of life from different cultures and epochs.

The illustration "A Persian Harem" is a depiction of the private quarters where the women of a Persian nobleman's household resided. The harem was a significant aspect of certain Islamic societies, particularly in the Ottoman, Safavid, and Mughal empires, and it has been a subject of fascination and numerous artistic representations in Western art and literature. Bramati's work is part of a larger ethnographic endeavor to document and understand the diverse cultural practices around the world.

In the context of Ferrario's work, "A Persian Harem" serves as a visual document that reflects the European interest in Orientalism during the 19th century—a trend characterized by the depiction of Eastern societies as exotic, opulent, and mysterious. The illustration would have contributed to the European understanding of Persian culture at the time, albeit through the lens of Western perceptions and interpretations.

The image and its accompanying text would have been used as an educational resource, aiming to provide readers with insights into the private and social lives of people from a culture vastly different from their own. As with many works of its time, it is important to approach "A Persian Harem" with a critical understanding of the historical context in which it was created, recognizing both its contribution to cultural knowledge and the potential for cultural misrepresentation inherent in such works.
