EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in Moroccan history, as Sultan Abdelhafid of Morocco (Mulay Abdelhafid) (1876-1937) is seen here in exile at Vichy, France, following his abdication in 1912. The Sultan, dressed in his traditional Moroccan attire, is accompanied by his interpreter, Ben Ghabrit. The Treaty of Fez, signed that same year, made Morocco a French protectorate, leading to the Sultan's deposition and exile to the Dar el Makzhen (Sultanate Palace) in Tangiers. The smartly-dressed interpreter, Ben Ghabrit, stands attentively by the Sultan's side, likely serving as a crucial bridge between the Moroccan monarch and the French authorities. The image exudes an air of sadness and resignation, as the once powerful Sultan is now a prisoner in his own land, far from his kingdom and people. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and often tumultuous relationship between Morocco and France during this period, and the profound impact of colonialism on the African continent.
