SULTANS IN SPLENDOUR PHILIP MANSEL ANDRE DEUTSCH: LONDON 1988 1st edition, signed and inscribed. 27 x 21 cm. 192 pp. HB/DJ Sultans m Splendour is a spectacular visual record of the end of an empire. 'If you want riches go to India. If you want learning, go to Europe. But if you want imperial splendour, come uo the Ottoman Empire.' In 1869 the Khedive Ismail of Egypt, an Ottoman vassal, threw a round of glittering parties to celebrate the opening of the Suez Canal. Everybody was there: the Empress Eugenie of the French, the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, the Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia. Desert chieftains prowled around waltzing Europeans and whirling dervishes, and dancing girls performed for the guests. It was a meeting of East and West which heralded the arrival of the modern age in the Middle East.
