EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flight of Sultan Abdelaziz of Morocco captures a pivotal moment in history, depicted in this vibrant colour lithograph. In August 1907, Sultan Abdelaziz's elder brother usurped the throne and declared himself sultan. Determined to regain his authority, Abdelaziz marched on Marrakesh in the summer of 1908, only to face betrayal from his own army. This image showcases the sultan's desperate escape into exile as he flees on horseback through the vast landscapes of North Africa. The defeated ruler is seen riding with great determination and courage, symbolizing his unwavering spirit despite facing adversity. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and urgency of this historical event, capturing every detail from the flowing robes of Sultan Abdelaziz to the majestic strength and beauty of his loyal steed. The composition exudes a sense of motion and energy as they gallop towards an uncertain future. This print not only serves as a visual reminder of political turmoil but also highlights the rich cultural heritage and equestrian traditions prevalent in Moroccan society. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when royalty relied on horses for transportation and sport. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in Moroccan history—a tale marked by bravery, betrayal, and ultimately resilience.
