Légende
Interior of Sidi Mohammed's tent, 1844. One of the 'trophies taken by the French army from the Moors,...the Tent of the eldest son of the Emperor [Muhammad IV of Morocco]. It was displayed in Paris: 'The tent is a complete moveable house, containing everything a Moor can desire - carpets, bed, sofa...The interior of the tent was hung with tapestry of various designs, and was provided with large round cushions of red Morocco leather and long ones of cloth of the same colour. Immediately opposite to the curtain which formed the door, was the bed of the Prince, hung likewise with red drapery. It was protected by a Mosquito curtain, and had two matresses - a blue and a red one. The couch itself was of Spanish make, and of the most simple design'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
