EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mr Harriss Passport being examined and read in Presence of Ahmed Feizi Pasha, Governor-General of Yemen, at Sanaa" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene where Mr Harris's passport is under scrutiny by the esteemed Ahmed Feizi Pasha, the Governor-General of Yemen. The setting is Sanaa, the bustling capital city of Yemen. As we gaze upon this print from 1892, we are transported to an era when passports held immense importance and were subject to meticulous examination. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Mr Harris awaits approval for his passage through the borders. Ahmed Feizi Pasha stands tall and authoritative beside him, engrossed in reading every detail on the document before him. His presence exudes power and control over who enters or leaves his jurisdiction. This artwork not only captures a momentary encounter between two individuals but also provides insight into political dynamics during that time. It offers a glimpse into how politicians like Ahmed Feizi Pasha played crucial roles in maintaining order within their territories. As we observe this historical scene frozen in time, it reminds us of the significance placed on official documentation and border control throughout history – elements that continue to shape our world today.
