948_05_00414134 The huge size of Brazil. Its extent from north to south is like the distance from the North Cape to Gibraltar. Situated under the equator, the north of Brazil, is the largest river basin in the world. There is the power grid of the Amazon River. The same is in its lower reaches 70-100 meters deep, about 12 times wider than the Rhine and about 5 times as long. In that area there is also the largest forest area in the world. Central Brazil is up to 100 meters away on the ocean plateau. In southern Brazil, with a subtropical climate such as North Africa, are the colonies of German emigrants. The winter months are in Brazil June to August summer months of December to February. The fertility of the land is extremely large. Vast areas of the interior are still unexplored.

948_05_00208804 Incidentally, the Arab Moors who ruled Spain, not barbarians, but an old folk culture and their rule was a mild and tolerant. They favored art and science, so they brought the scientific research in Spain on an extraordinary amount for that time. Anyway, you knew then nothing of the sort in other European countries. The tolerance of the Moors benefited notably the Spanish Jews who did not only often distinguished themselves as scholars, but also often highest state positions clothed. Now, however, this image shows a living in Africa Moors of our time. But does not speak from his face something of the wisdom and kindness of his ancestors, who ruled Spain?

948_05_00208803 The Arabs who wanted to help the incurred in the 7th century teachings of Muhammad, Islam, world domination had overrun by storm Western Asia and North Africa and now translated to Spain to make Europe Mohammedan. Your commander Tariq gave the rock where he landed, his name Jabal-al-Tariq, (äFels of Tariqì), it was the word of Gibraltar. Tariq defeated the Visigoths at the place from which comes this image, Jerez de la Frontera, the place is actually the home of Sherry, a popular Südweines. The defeat of the Visigoths was perfect. Up on some rocks nests in the north, where Visigothic Large defended themselves successfully, the whole peninsula of the Moors was a prey to the Arabs or how they even named yet. Maybe they would have conquered the rest of Europe.

948_05_00208845 In 1479, the previously hostile various Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon were united together by Ferdinand of Aragon who married Isabella of Castile and with so created the Kingdom of Spain. 1492, the last Moorish ruler, Boabdil was forced by a siege, Granada and the Alhambra for uübergeben and retire to Africa. Come down from the altar of having thrown the last look at his former country. The Alhambra was just before completion. The conqueror but have kept the precious heritage of the Moorish prince in honor and what was yet to complete, execute it. The Alhambra is still in good condition and is protected as a national monument.

948_05_00100988 The descendants of the once dominant culture of the Moors people alive today partly as a beggar on the other side of the Mediterranean. When King Boabdil was with his wives and his entourage to Africa deducted, it is not followed by all Muslims. Most remained and were left in their property when they converted to Christianity. However, it soon turned out that the crossing was only an illusion. Although they made outside the church with customs, but inside they remained faithful to Islam. Such former Moors were called Moriscos and they were now often the persecutions of the then ruling Inquisition exposed. Since then many beggars are but fled to Africa.

alb3608845 Bashi-Bazouk. Artist: Jean-Léon Gérôme (French, Vesoul 1824-1904 Paris). Dimensions: 31 3/4 x 26 in. (80.6 x 66 cm). Date: 1868-69.This arresting picture was made after Gérôme returned to Paris from a twelve-week journey to the Near East in early 1868. He was at the height of his career when he dressed a model in his studio with textiles he had acquired during the expedition. The artist's Turkish title for this picture--which translates as "headless"--evokes the unpaid irregular soldiers who fought ferociously for plunder under Ottoman leadership, although it is difficult to imagine this man charging into battle wearing such an exquisite silk tunic. Gérôme's virtuosic treatment of textures provides a sumptuous counterpoint to the figure's dignified bearing. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3666895 Spanish Translation of Saint Augustine's "City of God". Artist: Cano de Aranda (Spanish, active Toledo). Culture: Spanish. Dimensions: 15 1/2 x 11 3/8 x 3 1/21 in. (39.4 x 28.9 x 8.9 cm). Date: 1446-82.This volume is one of three containing the complete Spanish translation from the Latin of Saint Augustine's City of God (De Civitate Dei), written in the early fifth century, after the sack of Rome by the Visigoths. Augustine, bishop of Hippo in North Africa, developed the concept of the Church as a spiritual heavenly City of God in contrast to the material earthly City of Man. Even in times of upheaval, man should fix his eyes on the heavenly Jerusalem rather than on earthly political matters, for in the end, empires would fall, and God alone would triumph. While the thesis is framed by this conflict of the material and the spiritual, Augustine digressed throughout the twenty-two chapters into discussions of the flaws of pagan religions, the turpitude of the Romans, original sin, the natures of the Cities of God and Man, and many other themes. In this Spanish manuscript copy of the City of God, the text of each chapter or book begins with a major decorated initial, is enriched with abundant marginalia throughout, and ends with a brief exposition or interpretation of the preceding text.

alb3607153 The Repast of the Lion. Artist: Henri Rousseau (le Douanier) (French, Laval 1844-1910 Paris). Dimensions: 44 3/4 x 63 in. (113.7 x 160 cm). Date: ca. 1907.This work was probably shown in the Salon d'Automne of 1907, but it treats a theme that Rousseau first explored in Surprised! of 1891 (National Gallery, London). He based the exotic vegetation of his many jungle pictures on studies that he made in Paris's botanical gardens, and adapted the wild beasts from popular ethnographic journals and illustrated children's books. Rousseau's nickname, "le Douanier," derives from his job as a customs official. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Henri Rousseau (le Douanier).

alb3602480 Portrait of a Man in Armor with Two Pages. Artist: Paris Bordon (Italian, Treviso 1500-1571 Venice). Dimensions: 46 x 62 in. (116.8 x 157.5 cm).This painting shows a high-ranking officer with two pages, one of whom, an African, holds his helmet while the other fastens the armor on his right arm. It belongs to a long history of portraits of military men in armor, but the extensive landscape background, with stormy skies over the advancing armies, and the mood of melancholy are unique to Bordon. Although we do not know the identity of the sitter, who may have been Milanese, this work was much esteemed in the seventeenth century, when it was sold to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici in Florence. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.

alb3646190 Raharla, Minister to the Queen. Artist: Désiré Charnay (French, 1828-1915). Dimensions: Image: 19.4 × 12 cm (7 5/8 × 4 3/4 in.)Mount: 28.7 × 23.1 cm (11 5/16 × 9 1/8 in.). Date: 1863.An archaeologist-adventurer who had gained recognition for his photographic exploration of pre-Columbian Mexican ruins, Claude Joseph Désiré Charnay spent three months in Madagascar in 1863 as a diarist and photographer for a French scientific expedition. Because of both political upheaval and the xenophobic stand taken by the new government of the island, the mission was an abortive one, its only result being Charnay's photographs and the account he wrote of his stay for the periodical "Le Tour du Monde" in 1864, illustrated with wood engravings based on his photographs.The portraits Charnay made of the Madagascans were conceived as a catalogue of ethnic types rather than as a gallery of individuals. By placing his figures full-length in the middle of the frame and having them face his camera squarely, Charnay emulated the detached, impersonal stance of an anthropologist. He was, however, sensitive to the intelligence and poise of Raharla, minister to the queen, whom he photographed on two occasions, contrasting in crisp detail the textures of his elaborate Western clothes against the blurred background of his unprepossessing surroundings. Indeed, in his article, which was otherwise critical of the anti-French ruling class, Charnay wrote with a certain admiration about the British-educated minister and the ease with which he wore his European attire. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA. Author: Désiré Charnay.

alb3641268 Déjatch Alámayou, King Theodore's Son. Artist: Julia Margaret Cameron (British (born India), Calcutta 1815-1879 Kalutara, Ceylon). Dimensions: Image: 29.2 x 23.3 cm (11 1/2 x 9 3/16 in.). Date: July 1868.Déjatch Alámayou was taken to England after the British defeat of the Ethiopians at the battle of Magdala and the suicide of his father, Tewodros (Theodore) II, emperor of Ethiopia, in April 1868. Queen Victoria took an interest in Alámayou and saw to his education and protection, placing him in the care of Captain Tristram Speedy, who, like Cameron, had a home on the Isle of Wight. Speedy brought the child to Cameron's house shortly after his arrival in England, and Cameron made ten photographs of the captain and his charge posed among Ethiopian exotica. In this image, the young orphaned prince cradles a little white doll and stares sadly into space, seemingly lost in thought. His name, Alámayou, means "I have seen the world.".
