Hussein Pacha. Hussein Pacha, aujourd'hui Général en chef de l'Armée du Danube, de simple Janissaire, devint Janissaire Aga, puis Pacha des Janissaires, il se mit à la tête de la révolution du 16 Juin 1826.
Peint à Constantinople chez l'Auteur, place Royale, No 1., et chez Caillou, rue St Honoré No 140.
[n.d., c.1828.]
Mixed-method engraving with large margins, scarce. 440 x 320mm (13½ x 12½"). Bit dusty.
'Hussein Pacha, today General-in-chief of the Army of the Danube, rose from simple Janissary to Aga then Pasha of the Janissaries; he was head of the revolution of June 16, 1826.' For centuries the Janissaries had held the reins of power in the Ottoman Empire, forcing the Sultan to bend to their wishes or be deposed. Attempts at reform were often countered with murder, preventing the Ottoman army from being modernised and resulting in huge territory losses as the empire failed to win wars. However in 1826 Sultan Mahmud II was ready and in the 'Auspicious Incident' provoked a Janissairy revolt and then destroyed their barracks with artillery, killing 4,000. All survivors were exiled or executed. Hussein Agha Pasha (1776-1849) sided against his former comrades and was made commander of the new Mansure Army.

[Hafiz Abdul Karim.]
Elliott & Fry [pencil signature lower right.]
[London, 1890.]
Albumen print of a painting, to original card mount bearing contemporary annotation dated "6th June 1890". 250 x 200mm, 9¾ x 8". Lower left corner of mount missing, upper right corner tip creased, lower right chipped. Foxing.
Fine bust portrait in oval of Hafiz Abdul Karim (c.1863 - 1909), Secretary and 'Munshi' to Queen Victoria (as Empress of India); in striped turban and robe. Karim, a Muslim, was born near Jhansi in British India, the son of a hospital assistant. In 1887, Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, Karim was one of two Indians selected to become servants to the Queen. Victoria gave him the title of "Munshi", an Urdu word often translated as "clerk" or "teacher", appointed him her Indian Secretary, showered him with honours, and obtained a land grant for him in India. The firm of Elliott & Fry (active 1863 - 1962) was founded in 1863 by Joseph John Elliott (1835 - 1903) and Clarence Edmund Fry (1840 - 1897), who opened their first premises at 55 Baker Street where they stayed at until 1886. The firm employed a variety of operators who took the photographs, including Francis Henry Hart and Alfred James Philpott in the Edwardian era, Herbert Lambert and Walter Benington in the 1920s and 1930s and subsequently William Flowers. In the early 1940s the studio was bombed and most of the early negatives were destroyed. Shortly after the firm's Centenary in 1963 it was taken over by and amalgamated with Bassano & Vandyk. The National Portrait Gallery owns all the surviving negatives.

Fine bust portrait in oval of Hafiz Abdul Karim (c.1863 - 1909), Secretary and 'Munshi' to Queen Victoria (as Empress of India); in striped turban and robe. Karim, a Muslim, was born near Jhansi in British India, the son of a hospital assistant. In 1887, Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, Karim was one of two Indians selected to become servants to the Queen. Victoria gave him the title of "Munshi", an Urdu word often translated as "clerk" or "teacher", appointed him her Indian Secretary, showered him with honours, and obtained a land grant for him in India. The firm of Elliott & Fry (active 1863 - 1962) was founded in 1863 by Joseph John Elliott (1835 - 1903) and Clarence Edmund Fry (1840 - 1897), who opened their first premises at 55 Baker Street where they stayed at until 1886. The firm employed a variety of operators who took the photographs, including Francis Henry Hart and Alfred James Philpott in the Edwardian era, Herbert Lambert and Walter Benington in the 1920s and 1930s and subsequently William Flowers. In the early 1940s the studio was bombed and most of the early negatives were destroyed. Shortly after the firm's Centenary in 1963 it was taken over by and amalgamated with Bassano & Vandyk. The National Portrait Gallery owns all the surviving negatives.

Engraving. 190 x 130mm (7½ x 5¼"). Crease top left.
Mahmud II (1789-1839), 30th Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, from 1808. During his reign the loss of the Battle of Navarino (1827) led to his recognition of the independence of Greece, and the French occupied Algeria.

Mezzotint on india, proof before all letters. Platemark: 775 x 495mm. (30½ x 19½"). Large repaired tear from bottom edge to map on floor; second repaired tear to upper left margin.
Mohammed Ali, in the Palace of the Citadel, Cairo with 'Barrace of Nil' and 'Plans of Railway, From Cairo to Suez' by his feet. Muhammad Ali Pasha (1769-1849) is regarded as the founder of modern Egypt. Although neither born in Egypt nor a speaker of Arabic, he can readily be identified as someone who strove to defend the country against outsiders, to build up its power and to develop its economic and administrative resources. The dynasty that he established would rule Egypt and Sudan until the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. In 1833 he considered building a railway between Suez and Cairo to improve transit between Europe and India as he proved to boost Egypt's economy with exports of cotton and Egyptian goods. After his death, Abbas I contracted Robert Stephenson to build Egpyt's first standard gauge railway. Thomas Brigstocke (1809-1881), was a British portrait painter. He first studied in Sass's studio, then in the Royal Academy Schools, and under H.P. Briggs, and subsequently under J.P. Kni-lit. He also studied at Paris, Florence, Rome and Naples, during eight years. He exhibited his first picture, 'Alnaschar, the Barber's fifth Brother', at the Royal Academy in 1842. Five years later he went to Egypt with a letter of introduction to Mohammed Ali Pasha, by whom he was kindly received, and well employed in painting portraits of himself and his family. There Brigstocke spent sixteen months painting chiefly at the Palace of Shoubra, on the Nile, near Cairo, and at Ras el Tin, Alexandria; where Mohammed Ali established the first Egpytian navy.
