EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Ali Bey's Moroccan Cavalry: The Thrill of Battle and the Pursuit of Peace" This image, taken from the pages of "Ali Bey el Abbassi's Travels in Morocco, Tripoli, Cyprus, Egypt, Arabia, Syria and Turkey," published in London in 1816, showcases two distinct moments in the life of a Moroccan cavalry soldier and his esteemed leader, Ali Bey. In the first scene (a), we witness the raw power and determination of a Moroccan soldier on horseback as he charges towards an enemy, musket at the ready. The tension in the air is palpable as the soldier prepares to engage in battle, his steed's hooves thundering on the ground. The intricate copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, hand-coloured by Lazaretti, masterfully captures the intensity of the moment, with the soldier's focused expression and the enemy's surprised reaction. In the second scene (b), we find Ali Bey, the fearless leader of the Moroccan cavalry, traveling on horseback through an unfamiliar land. The scene exudes a sense of tranquility and wonder, as Ali Bey takes in the breathtaking vistas around him. The copperplate engraving, with its meticulous attention to detail, transports us to another time and place, allowing us to experience the thrill of exploration and discovery through Ali Bey's eyes. These two scenes offer a glimpse into the complex and multifaceted world of Ali Bey and his Moroccan cavalry, a world filled with both the excitement of battle and the allure of adventure. This image, a testament to the artistry of Michallon, Dell Acqua, and Lazaretti, invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating history of Morocco and the remarkable life of Ali Bey el Abbassi.
