An important harbour town in the region Tanger-Tétouan in northern Morocco. The town was probably founded by the Banu Arous tribe. but was abandoned when the Portuguese drove out the inhabitants in 1471
Saadi Sultan Mohammed ash-Sheikh decided to repopulate it and build a stronghold on the plateau above river Loukos. He constructed a fortress at the entrance to the port as a means of controlling access to the river.
During the 15th century the Portuguese recognised it as the largest port of the area and as such unsuccessful attempts were made by the Portuguese, Spanish and French to take it. The Kasbah, which was built in 1491 by Moulay en Nasser, later became a pirate stronghold. In 1610, the town passed to the Spanish, who stayed there until 1689, but who mainly used the ports as trading stops and never really administered the town. Moulay Ismail finally recapture the city in 1689. Dark impression; light toning; some spotting mainly to blank margins; old ink number to upper margin.

Marrakesh grew rapidly and established itself as a cultural, religious, and trading centre for the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa.
After a period of decline, the city was surpassed by Fes, but in the early 16th century, Marrakesh again became the capital of the kingdom. The city regained its preeminence under wealthy Saadian sultans Abu Abdallah al-Qaim and Ahmad al-Mansur, who embellished the city with sumptuous palaces such as the El Badi Palace (1578) and restored many ruined monuments.
Beginning in the 17th century, the city became popular among Sufi pilgrims for Morocco's seven patron saints, who are entombed there. Dark impression; light toning; some spotting mainly to blank margins; old ink number to upper margin.

The view shows the small lake upon whose shores can be seen vestiges of the ancient city of Stymphalos, once one of the largest towns in Arkadia, founded by Elatos son of Arkas.

The waters escape from the lake by means of a katabothra or subterranean passages; the underground river emerging at Argos where it is named Erasines, finally meeting the Argolic gulf through the marshes of Lerna.
Dodwell then mentions that the lake was the site of one of the labours of Hercules the slaying of the man-eating Stymphalian birds, and comments that he obviously did his work well as there are now only ducks and common wild fowl at the lake. Bright and clean.
