EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic presence of Sultan Hussein Kamel, who ruled as the Khedive of Egypt from 1914 until his untimely death in 1917 during the British protectorate. Born in 1853, Hussein Kamel was the eldest son of Ismail Pasha, the last significant ruler of Egypt before the British occupation. In this image, taken around 1915, Hussein Kamel dons the traditional attire of a Sultan, including a red fez adorned with gold embroidery, a long white robe, and a sash. He wears a medaled chest, signifying his military and political accomplishments. His thick, curled mustache frames his stern yet resolute expression, hinting at the complex political landscape of Egypt during his reign. The Sultan's rule was marked by a tense relationship with the British, who had significant influence over Egyptian politics. Despite this, Hussein Kamel managed to assert some degree of independence, implementing reforms and modernizing the country's infrastructure. However, his reign was cut short by his untimely death, leaving a power vacuum that ultimately led to the complete British takeover of Egypt. This evocative portrait offers a glimpse into the complexities of Egyptian history during a pivotal time, when the country was caught between its rich cultural heritage and the encroaching influence of European powers. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring fascination with the exotic allure of the Middle East and North Africa, while also shedding light on the political intricacies of a region in flux.
