Britain’s new monarch is well known for his engagement in Islamic art and culture. There has perhaps not been this level of interest since the days of King Charles III’s great-great-great-grandparents. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were fascinated by the world in general, including what was then known as the ‘Orient’. They collected accordingly, and on at least one occasion competed with each other for the same work of art. This was the case with a pair of bronze sculptures by the most admired ethnographic artist of the time, Charles Cordier.

Before the large-scale advent of photography, some of the greatest and most informative visual depictions of Persia and the Orient were in the form of sketches and drawings by European travellers to the region, some of whom also wrote detailed accounts of their journeys. These voyages were invariably difficult, sometimes perilous, but offered fascinating glimpses of local life as it was then, albeit occasionally embellished by the painter with romantic notions of exoticism.
