Review of troops at Morocco, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Review of troops at Morocco, 1844. North African military display...outside the walls of Morocco. This spectacle differs wholly from an European notion of a " review". Instead of the formal manoeuvres of our well-disciplined armies, the barbaric habits of the desert give a romantic air of freedom to the meeting. The " review" is not so much, in fact, an inspection, as it is a kind of tourney, in which both inspector and inspected prove, by mimic conflicts, their respective strength and skill...the mob army will be seen forward in picturesque array, witnessing the tilting of picked men of their tribes. Such is a specimen of the exercises by which these semi-barbaric troops seek to prepare themselves for contests with the highly-disciplined armies of Europe. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol V
