EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century engraving depicts Sultan Hassan I (1836-1894) of Morocco, a prominent figure of the Alaouite Dynasty, as he receives a dispatch in the comfort of his palace. The Sultan, adorned with a full beard and regal attire, sits on a plush chair, his feet resting on a low table, while a servant, dressed in traditional Moroccan garb, stands attentively at the ready. The serene expression on the Sultan's face conveys a sense of reverence and composure as he reads the important news contained in the letter. Hassan I ruled Morocco from 1873 until his death in 1894, making him one of the longest reigning monarchs in Moroccan history. During his tenure, he worked to modernize the country and strengthen its international relations. This engraving, created by the renowned British artist R. Caton Woodville, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a powerful and respected monarch, surrounded by the comforts and luxuries of his palace. The intricate details of the engraving, from the ornate furnishings to the intricately patterned slippers, transport us back to a time when the world was connected through the exchange of news and messages, and the Sultan of Morocco held a position of great importance in the global community.
