Portrait of Arabi Pasha as Seen by a Philadelphia Artist
A Philadelphia artist who met Arabi Pasha in Alexandria last winter sketches a vivid personal portrait. He describes a tall heavy faced man with a clear eye softening harsh features, a lack of mustache hiding a not finely carved mouth, unattractive legs, and a frail underpinning. The bulky figure is likened to a lobster pattern, a stark contrast to the amiable Arab gentleman image.
