EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Bargash bin Said (1837-1888), the enigmatic Sultan of Zanzibar during the late 19th century. The portrait, published in The Illustrated World in 1883, captures the sultan in a regal and commanding stance, adorned in the traditional attire of the Sayyid dynasty. Bargash bin Said, also known as Barghash or Seyyid Barghash, was the eldest son of Sultan Seyyid Said, who ruled over the Sultanate of Zanzibar and the East African coast. He ascended to the throne in 1870 following the death of his father. The Sultan's long, flowing beard and turban are prominently displayed, signifying his religious and royal status. He is seen wearing a red sash, a symbol of his authority, and holds a sabre in his right hand, emphasizing his military prowess. The Illustrated World, a popular weekly publication, was known for its high-quality engravings and illustrations. This portrait of Bargash bin Said is a testament to the magazine's ability to capture the essence of contemporary history and bring it to the masses. The sultan's signature, inscribed below the image, further authenticates the print. Bargash bin Said's reign was marked by political instability and external pressures from European powers, particularly Britain, which sought to expand its influence in the region. Despite these challenges, the sultan managed to maintain the Sultanate of Zanzibar's sovereignty until his death in 1888. This image of Bargash bin Said serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of the Sultanate of Zanzibar during the 19th century.
