EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Divan of the Grand Shereef of Wazan, Morocco" takes us on a visual journey to the heart of North Africa in the late 19th century. The image showcases an intimate gathering within the grand divan, or council chamber, of the esteemed Grand Shereef. The scene is filled with rich cultural details and traditional attire as we see members of the Moroccan royal family and influential figures clad in exquisite robes and turbans. Each individual exudes an air of authority and elegance, reflecting their status within society. The artist, Charles Auguste Loye, masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of this momentous occasion. The intricate engravings bring to life every fold in their garments and every expression on their faces. As we delve deeper into this print, it becomes evident that this gathering holds great significance for both religious and political reasons. It offers a glimpse into Moroccan Islamic culture as well as its complex hierarchy during that era. Through Loye's skillful interpretation, we are transported back in time to witness this historical event unfold before our eyes. This engraving serves as a testament to Loye's talent as an illustrator while providing us with a valuable insight into Moroccan history and traditions.
