EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Abdication of Moulay-Hafid, Sultan of Morocco" takes us back to a significant moment in history. This stunning cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, dated 25 August 1912, showcases the colourful lithograph created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century. In this image, we witness the Abdication ceremony of Sultan Mulay Abdul-Aziz bin Hasan, also known as Moulay-Hafid. He ruled as the Alaouite Sultan of Morocco from 1908 to 1912. The abdication took place on 12 August 1912 and marked a turning point for Morocco's fate. Surrounded by influential figures such as Hubert Lyautey, the French Resident-General at that time, Moulay-Hafid signs his abdication in favor of his younger half-brother Mulay Yusuf bin Hasan. This act solidified Morocco's transition into becoming a French protectorate under the Alawi dynasty. The composition beautifully captures both the grandeur and solemnity of this historical event. The vibrant colours evoke a sense of power and authority while highlighting the cultural richness and heritage associated with Moroccan rulership. This remarkable photograph print serves as a visual reminder of how political landscapes can shift dramatically throughout history. It invites us to reflect upon colonial influences and their impact on nations like Morocco during this era in North Africa's Maghreb region.
