This print captures the defining moment in history when Sultan Selim I, also known as Yavuz "the Stern, " "the Steadfast, " or "the Grim, " conquered Egypt. As the ruler of the Ottoman Empire from 1512 to 1520, Sultan Selim I was a formidable leader who expanded his empire through military conquests. In this image, we see Sultan Selim I on horseback, leading his forces and troops with unwavering determination. His head held high, he exudes authority and confidence as he commands his army towards victory. This photograph showcases not only the ruler's strategic brilliance but also his exceptional skills as a military tactician. The year is 1516, during the 16th century - an era marked by territorial expansion and power struggles among empires.
