In 1867, a man named Grigoriy Sharopenko gave an album of drawings to a young Russian man named Alexander Alexandrovich Romanov — the future Czar Alexander III. It contained images of ceremonial dress from the Ottoman Empire, then in a period of decline. The layers of clothing contained detailed signifiers for the class, religion, and social standing of the wearers — who included the late sultan Mahmud II, officers of his court, military officers, Balkan peasants, and more. The images appear to be copies of illustrations made earlier, around the 1820s.
This embedding is based on 30 images from that album, which is currently held by the New York Public Library. It was cooked for a total of 300 steps on base SD 1.5: 16 vectors per token, a 0.004 learning rate, a batch size of 6, and 5 gradient steps.
Your ratings, especially of the five-star variety, are very much appreciated.

You know those programming book covers by Manning, with the funky historical outfits? I just realised it might be hilarious to train a model for that sort of thing.
Interesting — those are apparently from Sylvain Marechal's "Costumes civils actuels de tous les peuples connus" (1788).
Indeed, the early ones were from there, but that book only has ~70 drawings. They've since used illustrations / engravings from various other titles. Understandably, some of these are hard to find online, in good condition or otherwise. Pretty neat that ny's library offers a search function like that.
