The sultan
Abdul Aziz (1830-1876, reign 1861-1876) was the son of Sultan Mahmud II and
succeeded his brother Abdulmecid I in 1861. Abdulaziz received an Ottoman
education but was nevertheless an ardent admirer of the material progress that
was made in the West. He was the first Ottoman Sultan who travelled to Western
Europe, visiting a number of important European capitals including Paris,
London and Vienna in the summer of 1867.
Apart from
his passion for the Ottoman Navy, which had the world's third largest fleet in
1875 (after the British and French navies), the Sultan took an interest in
documenting the Ottoman Empire. He was also interested in literature and was a
talented classical music composer. Some of his compositions, together with
those of the other members of the Ottoman dynasty, have been collected in the
album "European Music at the Ottoman Court" by the London Academy of
Ottoman Court Music.

super Abwicklung, wirklich beste Adresse!!!
Die Verpackung war ungenügend (der stützende Karton kleiner als die Zeichnung), aus meiner Sicht reiner Zufall, dass die Zeichnung keinen Schaden nahm.
