The Grand Vizier's Tent. The principle figure is that of the Vizier (Kör Yusuf Ziyaüddin Pasha), seen applying his seal to the firman which authorised the British to enter Jerusalem. (L to R) Sir Sidney Smith, Lieutenant Bower, Mr Spurring and Mr Spilsbury 1799, during the Defence of the Ottoman Empire against General Bonaparte. Plate XV. Note: The book mentions, in the credits, Lieutenant James Boxer RN, (HMS Tigre). JOURNAL OF A TOUR FROM JAFFA TO JERUSALEM; BY THE OFFICERS BELONGING TO HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP LE TIGRE. On Sunday, June 22nd, 1800, having obtained permission of Sir Sidney Smith, we went on shore at Jaffa, and in the afternoon were introduced by our commander to the Grand Vizier. The Plate No. XV. is illustrative of this interview. The principal figure is the Vizier, applying his seal to the firman which authorised us to proceed to Jerusalem. On the right is Sir Sidney Smith; next to him is Mr. Spurring; and, as a spectator, Mr. Spilsbury. In the foreground, on the left, are some of the great officers of the Vizier, with, as usual, the guard standing at the door of the tent. The officers are all represented as wearing mustachoes. This ceremony being over, the Grand Vizier immediately presented us with the necessary passports, &c. with an order for horses, and an appropriate guard to attend us on the succeeding morning.
