Photogravure from the original Painting ~by J, Kockert 



Haroun-al-Raschid was Calif of Bagdad in the eighth century. Under him 

 the Eastern califate attained its greatest height of splendor and power. He 

 is, however, best known from the tales of the Arabian Nights, in which 

 everything curious, romantic, and wonderful is connected with his name, or i3 

 supposed to have happened in his reign.
