FROM THE THRONE ROOM OF THE MOORS 

 One of the embrasures, or window alcoves, of the Hall of the Ambassadors in the Alhambra at 

 Granada, Spain. In this room met the last assembly of the Moors, summoned by Boabdil to 

 consider the surrender of Granada to the Spanish King Ferdinand just before Columbus dis- 

 covered America. The visitor is impressed with the fact that the depiction of living things is 

 avoided in Moorish architecture and that the decoration is accomplished with geometrical designs 

 which are astonishingly beautiful.
