Abstract

Mohammed el Adouli was well known throughout the Jebel Akhdar in the nineteenth century, and for at least twenty years was employed as a guide by many foreign consuls and explorers. This article seeks to bring together any information, both complimentary and otherwise, which has been left by these travellers about Adouli. The most striking record is his photograph, taken in 1861 by Smith and Porcher, which must be the earliest named photographic portrait of a Libyan.
