Murad V., the New Sultan of Turkey, 1876. Creator: Unknown.

Murad V., the New Sultan of Turkey, 1876. '...Portrait of the new Sultan, Mourad V., [engraved] from the excellent photograph of him, by Messrs. W. and R. Downey, which was taken in July, 1867, when he came to England with his uncle, the late Sultan Abdul Aziz. Messrs. W. and R. Downey, of Eldon-square, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and of Ebury-street, Pimlico, in London, have long enjoyed a special reputation, gained in their art by the most frequent and successful portraiture of her Majesty [Queen Victoria] and the chief members of the Royal family. They have also produced satisfactory likenesses of many of the Royal and Imperial personages who have visited this country from foreign States. This portrait of Sultan Mourad is equally good, though it represents him as he appeared nine years ago'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
