"Hamid: A Journey Through Time and Empires" Step into the captivating world of Hamid, a name that echoes through history and spans across continents. From Abdul Hamid II, the enigmatic ruler of the Ottoman Empire, to Lith's iconic cartoon portraying this era, there is much to discover. Traveling across oceans, we find ourselves at Million Dollar Pier in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Amidst the glitz and glamour of this American landmark, one can't help but wonder about the connections between Abdulhamid I and this bustling city. Delving deeper into history, we encounter an intriguing depiction of Kaiser Wilhelm II alongside Abdul Hamid during World War I. What secrets lie behind their meeting? The engraving depicting "The Crisis at Zanzibar" adds another layer to this tale - what role did Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid play? Intrigue continues as Sir Henry Elliot presents his credentials to Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid at Dolma Bagtche Palace. What diplomatic discussions took place within those opulent walls? And what stories does The Turkish State Barge Seughudlu hold from its time at Elswick Shipyard? Amidst all these grandeur lies a touch of elegance - an ornate invitation from Her Excellency The Ambassadress of Turkey invites us into a world filled with cultural richness and refinement. Yet amidst power and diplomacy, Sultan Abdul Hamid I had a passion for knowledge. His public library stands as a testament to his commitment to education and enlightenment. As our journey nears its end in Istanbul, we are greeted by the majestic Laleli Mosque or Tulip Mosque. Its beauty reflects not only architectural prowess but also echoes the legacy left behind by sultans like Abdulhamid I. Finally, let us take a moment to ponder Stonehenge through Sir Richard Colt Hoare's eyes - how would he have interpreted it during his encounters with the Ottoman Empire.
