EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, the legendary Caliph Haroun-al-Raschid is depicted mingling incognito among the ordinary people of Baghdad. The fifth Abbasid Caliph, known for his wisdom and benevolence, is said to have wandered through the city at night, disguised as a commoner, to gain insight into the daily lives of his subjects. This iconic image captures a moment in time when royalty and commoner come together, blurring the lines between power and humility. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the bustling streets of ancient Baghdad, where merchants haggle over goods and people from all walks of life go about their daily routines. As one of many stories featured in Arabian Nights, Haroun-al-Raschid's nocturnal strolls continue to captivate audiences with their poignant portrayal of leadership and humanity.
