EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing "The British Mission to Morocco" in all its grandeur. The engraving, created by Richard Caton Woodville II, transports us back to the year 1887 when Sir William Kirby-Green, KCMG, was received by the Sultan of Morocco. In this remarkable scene depicted with meticulous detail, we witness the convergence of two worlds - British military might and Moroccan tradition. Horses adorned with regal trappings stand proudly as their riders don traditional dress befitting such an auspicious occasion. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Sir William Kirby-Green approaches the Sultan's court. Amidst this tableau of diplomacy and respect, we catch a glimpse of order and honor. The Knight Commander stands tall wearing his prestigious Order of St Michael while being greeted by His Royal Highness himself. This meeting symbolizes not only the alliance between Britain and Morocco but also showcases the importance placed on maintaining international relationships during that era. Woodville's masterful engraving brings this historical event to life; every stroke reveals intricate details that transport us into another time.
