1886 Royal Egypt Armenian Land Dispute Document Khedive Tewfik Egyptian Royalty

Description

This rare and historically significant antique manuscript, dating to approximately 1886, originates from the royal period of Khedive Mohamed Tewfik Pasha of Egypt. It holds exceptional importance as it addresses the evaluation of a land dispute between the Egyptian and Armenian communities by the Armenian Council. 

The document, officially addressed to the Egyptian government, is one of only a few known artifacts that shed light on this pivotal moment in history. Featuring the negative cartouche seal of the Armenian lawyers who drafted it, this manuscript serves as a powerful testament to the legal and cultural dynamics of the late 19th century. Measuring approximately 7.25 inches by 15.25 inches, the double-sided manuscript retains its original markings, with folds, tears, and areas of missing paper reflective of its age. 

Though brittle from prolonged exposure to sunlight, this document remains a unique and authentic artifact of museum quality. Its unparalleled significance makes it a valuable addition for historians, collectors, and institutions interested in preserving the rich historical narrative of the Egyptian-Armenian relationship during the Khedive period.
