It will not be difficult to conceive how this lamentable occurrence arose, when it is remembered that representation by sculpture or design of any living object is strictly forbidden by the Musulman faith. The work of the artist is considered the grossest impiety, and his model, if a Mohammedan, would not only consider himself a party to an act expressly forbidden by Allah, but would be exposed to earthly penalties in the form of bastinadoing or Imprisonment by order of the local pasha. Besides this, the singular belief in the malign influence of the evil eye, so common through the East, is extremely prevalent in Morocco. The Moors being highly superstitious, regard the photographic, camera not in the light of a scientific apparatus, but as a magic Instrument by which a person of an alien faith and of sinister intentions practises an unholy, art, possibly with the view of working some spell on the mind or body of the true believer.
