Abdulaziz: A Visionary Sultan and a Symbol of Diplomatic Relations Among the prominent Middle East rulers, King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia in 1945, Abdulaziz stands out as an influential figure. His reign marked a significant period in the history of Turkey and its relations with other nations. In 1867, Queen Victoria invested Abdul Aziz, the Sultan of Turkey, with the prestigious order of the Garter. This gesture not only highlighted his importance but also emphasized diplomatic ties between Britain and Turkey during that era. The artist William Barnes Wollen beautifully captured this historic moment in his artwork. The casket presented to the Sultan by the City was a testament to his esteemed position. It symbolized respect and recognition for his leadership qualities and contributions to society. Engravings depicting various events like "The Sultans Visit to Egypt" showcased his influence beyond Turkish borders. During his visit to Guildhall in London, Abdulaziz received warm receptions from dignitaries who acknowledged him as an esteemed guest. These engravings depicted grand ceremonies held in honor of the Sultan's presence at important venues such as Guildhall or even Dover upon landing. Notably, Abdulaziz's progress through Cairo left lasting impressions on those who witnessed it firsthand. People lined up along streets just to catch a glimpse of their revered leader passing by in all his glory—an image immortalized through engravings capturing this historical event. His naval review at Clarence-Yard, Portsmouth further demonstrated Abdulaziz's interest in maritime affairs while showcasing Turkey's growing influence on international waters. The engraving portraying this event portrayed both power and elegance befitting a ruler like him. Guildhall became witness once again when Corporation members presented their address to His Majesty during one occasion—a testament to mutual respect between leaders and institutions across borders. Celebrations continued with extravagant balls held at places like New India Office Westminster where guests honored the Sultan.
