sultan

Was Sultan of Morocco from 1908 to 1912. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdelhafid_of_Morocco Here's an NY Times article where he seizes power: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9505E0DB153EE2...

NY Times, Aug 16, 1912, lead: MARSEILLES, Aug. 15. -- Mulai Hafid, ex-Sultan of Morocco, arrived here this morning on board the steamship Macedonia. His progress to his hotel was watched by a dense throng of people, but there was no cheering. and, another story (Aug 25, 1912) PARIS, Aug. 24. -- Mulai Hafid, the ex-Sultan of Morocco, is the hero of the moment here. The atrocities which were committed in his name and which attracted the attention of the world appear to be entirely forgotten, and long tales of his doings and sayings at Vichy, where he is taking the cure, receive the place of honor in the daily press.

Possibly en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_II_of_Egypt

swanq they are similar somehow ... but the man in your link has a broader face width (I wonder if it has to do with the photographic technique or they are indeed two different men).

Seems like it's actually Hussein Kamel, ruler of Egypt in 1915, but not Khedive, as Abbas II was the last Khedive, according to Wikipedia Wikipedia uses an uncropped version of this photo for Kamel's entry: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussein_Kamel_of_Egypt "Sultan Hussein Kamel (Arabic: السلطان حسين كامل‎; 21 November 1853 – 9 October 1917) was the Sultan of Egypt from 19 December 1914 to 9 October 1917, during the British protectorate over Egypt. Hussein Kamel was the son of Khedive Isma'il Pasha, who ruled Egypt from 1863 to 1879. Hussein Kamel was declared Sultan of Egypt on 19 December 1914, after the occupying British forces had deposed his nephew, Khedive Abbas Hilmi II, on 5 November 1914. The newly created Sultanate of Egypt was declared a British protectorate. "

oh yes it is a perfect match.

Look at that 'stache!

Here's his Wikipedia entry.
