Created by the French School in the 18th century, this colour lithograph is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet, located in Paris, France. The image depicts an influential figure known as le Dey d'Alger or the Dey of Algiers. Dressed in a striking military uniform with a tricorne hat atop his head, the Dey exudes power and authority.
