EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in The Spanish and American Illustration in 1877, captures a significant moment in the diplomatic history between Spain and Morocco during the 19th century. The image depicts King Alfonso XII of Spain (1857-1885) in an audience with the Moroccan Ambassador, Sid Abdesslam Esuisi, and other embassy officials. The scene takes place in the ornate interior of a European embassy building, with the monarch seated on a throne, dressed in formal attire, while the Moroccan ambassador and his attache stand respectfully before him. The ambassador, wearing traditional Moroccan clothing and a red fez, presents a gift to the king. This audience marked an important step in the strengthening of diplomatic relations between Spain and Morocco, as Spain sought to expand its influence in North Africa. The use of color in this engraving adds to its visual appeal and historical significance, providing a vivid glimpse into the political scene of the late 19th century. The image serves as a reminder of the complex and dynamic diplomatic relationships that existed between European powers and the various kingdoms and empires of Africa during this period.
