The Emperor of Morocco giving audience,1844. Creator: Unknown.

The Emperor of Morocco giving audience, 1844. Abd al-Rahman, sultan of Morocco: 'Here, reader, you have a portraiture...of the potentate who has just become embroiled with his French neighbours, but who, according to the latest letters from Gibraltar, is Sultan, as he is styled by travellers, upon whose conduct in this affair probably rests, in some degree, the peace of Europe. Muley Abderrahman, then, the Emperor, is between fifty and sixty years of age, robust, and of active habit, but of brutal and cruel character, whilst he possesses a more despotic power than any other even of Mahometan potentates. He is not even held in check by a mufti, an ulema, or even a council or divan. He is supposed to possess a divine character, and to be superior to all law'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
