Özet:

 With the exception of military campaigns in Ottoman history, the only Sultan who traveled to foreign countries and the only caliph who went to Christian countries as an ally was Sultan Abdülaziz. One of the most important stops during Sultans journey to Europe in 1867 was Britain. He visited many institutions here and stayed for more than ten days, participated in banquets and balls, was given in his honour and hosted many influential people and institutions at the reception he gave. Sultans journey to Europe, the British leg of his travel in particular, aroused great interest in the British press, and liberal, conservative, and satirical newspapers kept a close eye on Sultan. There were page-by-page news about the balls given in the name of the Sultan, the entertainments organised, the apparel and attitudes of the Sultan and his entourage, and what they ate and drank. Accordingly, this study aims to convey the reflections of this journey in British liberal, conservative, and satirical newspapers and to exhibit the attitudes of dissidents and supporters towards the journey together with their impressions and reflections on the British front. The perception of Sultan and Islam that existed in Britain and changed during the journey will also be revealed.

 Osmanlı tarihinde seferler istisna tutulmak koşuluyla yabancı memleketlere seyahate çıkmış yegâne Sultan, Hıristiyan memleketlere dost olarak gitmiş tek halife, Sultan Abdülazizdir. Sultan Abdülazizin 1867 tarihinde gerçekleştirdiği seyahatin en önemli duraklarından biri İngilteredir. 10 günü aşkın bir süre kaldığı bu topraklarda pek çok kurum gezmiş, şerefine verilen ziyafet ve balolara iştirak etmiştir. Verdiği resepsiyonda birçok etkin kişi ve kurum temsilcisini ağırlamıştır. Sultanın Avrupa seyahati, özelde ise seyahatin İngiltere ayağı İngiliz basınında mühim alaka uyandırmış; liberal, muhafazakâr ve hiciv gazeteleri Sultanı yakından takip etmişlerdir. Sultan adına verilen balolar, tertip edilen eğlenceler, Sultan ve maiyetinin giyim-kuşamları, tutumları, yedikleri-içtikleriyle ilgili sayfa sayfa haberler neşredilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, seyahatin İngiliz liberal, muhafazakâr ve de hiciv gazetelerine yansımaları aktarılacak, seyahate yönelik muhalif ve yanlıların tutumu, İngiliz cephesindeki izlenimleri ve yansımaları sergilenmeye çalışılacak, İngilterede var olan ve seyahatle birlikte değişen Sultan ve Müslüman algısı gözler önüne serilmeye çalışılacaktır.
