The Seyid, Mustapha el Idrisi - A Glimpse into Southern Arabia's Rich Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white portrait print by Donald McLeish takes us back to the enchanting world of southern Arabia in 1922. The subject of this photograph is none other than The Seyid, Mustapha el Idrisi, a distinguished descendant of Fatima, Mahomet's daughter, who married the revered Ali. Dressed in traditional Arabian robes and adorned with an exquisite headdress and turban, The Seyid exudes an air of regality and wisdom. His posture is dignified as he sits with his hands resting on his knees, emanating a sense of tranquility that seems to be deeply rooted in his heritage. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail - from the delicate folds of his robe to the ornate patterns adorning his headgear. Through this portrait, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry that defines southern Arabia. Donald McLeish skillfully captures not only The Seyid's physical appearance but also hints at the depth and complexity of his character. It serves as a testament to McLeish's talent as an artist and photographer. This remarkable print was featured in "Peoples of All Nations" volume I: Abyssinia to the British Empire edited by JA Hammerton and published by Educational Book Company (London) in 1922.
