Vue prise de la Tour du Séraskiérat "View taken from the Serasker or Beyazit Tower".

1875réf. 170484Constantinople c. 1875. A superb photographic panorama A panoramic 360-degree view of the city. Towards the Golden Horn the Topkapi Palace and the city's great mosques can be seen including Hagia Sophia the Blue Mosque the Yeni Mosque and the Süleymaniye. Panoramas of this period usually favour the Galata Tower as a vantage point. The view is unsigned though likely from the studios of Pascal Sébah and Policarpe Joaillier or the Swede Guillaume Berggren. Both are renowned for their handsome panoramas of the city. In 1857 Sébah opened one of the first photographic studios in Constantinople. The business was taken over by his son Jean in 1883 who styled himself J. Pascal Sébah and went on to become a talented photographer in his own right. In 1888 he partnered with Policarpe Joaillier their firm becoming the official photographers of the Sultan. "From the 1870s Sébah and Joaillier were major suppliers of evocative imagery to the increasing number of people who undertook the Victorian Grand Tour" Hannavy p. 1261. Berggren moved to Constantinople in 1866 and opened his studio on Grand Rue de Pera in the early 1870s. His oeuvre included studio work a remarkable series of documentary portraits of working people and the eternalising of the construction of the Anatolian Railway.

Title translates as "The Book of the Law the Prophets and the Writings Translated into Ladino/Spanish." Ya'ari Reshimat Sifre Ladino no. 3. The publisher also issued a more common parallel Hebrew and Ladino bible the same year; this edition however is the scarcer Ladino only edition. "The translation of the Pentateuch in Hebrew vocalized square characters Constantinople 1547 was the first larger work which the Sephardic Jews of Turkey published in the language 'which the old Jews use. ' Twenty years later the entire Bible was published in several parts the third of which included the Later Prophets. This translation which agreed almost entirely with the one that appeared at Ferrara in Latin letters in 1553 was followed by another in four parts Constantinople 1739-45 in Ladino 'entero bien Ladinado'; seventy years later Israel b. Hayyim of Belgrade issued a translation Vienna 1813-16; the Constantinople edition was reprinted at Smyrna in 1838 et seq and again at Constantinople in 1873 all of these being in Rashi characters." EJ The Ladino Bible was later used by modern scholars and writers such as Holocaust survivor and poet Moshe Ha-Elion as a linguistic reference point to study authentic traditional Salonican and Turkish Ladino vocabulary. "All in all between 1493 and 1940 approximately 260 books and thirty periodicals were printed in Ladino in Istanbul most of them printed after 1730 out of a total of 758 publications in Hebrew type. As we have noted early Ladino publications focused on religion: Biblical commentary and texts religious law ethics and prayer books. These topics continued in the nineteenth century but the majority of publications in the later period were belles lettres history and biography sciences and communal and state laws and regulations. Of special social and cultural importance since the second half of the nineteenth century were Ladino periodicals which also served as publishers of books in Ladino. Having initially aimed to "Judaize" the Jews the objective of Ladino publishing in the later period was to modernize and entertain them while at the same time attempting to spread Judaic knowledge."

Photochrom also called the Aäc process is ""a very successful form of color photolithography developed in the late 19th century by the Swiss firm of Orell Füssli and used mainly for topographical views; photochroms have almost the appearance of color photographs but through a glass will show a delicate ink pattern which was achieved by a combination of photographic and manual work on grained i.e. lithographic stones being a forerunner therefore of modern screenless offset lithography"" Gascoigne 206. In this process black and white photographic negatives were directly transferred onto lithographic printing plates to produce color prints. These photographs are a high point in late 19th-century photography when albums such as these captivated a world newly spellbound ""by photography's capacity to 'take them there' and bring them directly in contact with the long ago and far away"" Parr & Badger I:18. Each image captioned with a four-digit number followed by ""P.Z."" for Photochrom Zürich and then the title of the scene in French.

Except for the horizontal centre-fold in very clean condition. A letter written by the Italian Consul General in Constantinople to the Italian chargé d'affaires accompanied by a historically significant report from the Consular Agent in Rodosto provides valuable first-hand information about the outbreak of epidemic diseases such as cholera and typhus among humans and anthrax and bubonic plague among animals in the Ottoman Empire in 1913. It also sheds light on the authorities' failure to address these public health crises while offering significant insights into the Muslim immigrants arriving in convoys to the region during the ongoing Balkan Wars. This is an invaluable firsthand account of the Sixth Cholera Pandemic in the Ottoman Empire "a time when the Empire's foundations were shaken by the Balkan War military defeats territorial losses the plight of refugees and immigrants and the dreadful calamity of the cholera epidemic between 1911 and 1913 during which no reliable official records exist regarding the exact number of cholera cases and deaths". Unat. The manuscript report opens by stating the number of direct death cases as rendered in the translation: "I believe it is my duty to inform you that on the 27th a case of cholera followed by death was reported in the town. The day before yesterday there were four other cases two of them fatal; yesterday four new ones two of which were fatal; today another case. So out of ten cases there have been five deaths." The letter goes on: "The other municipality requested a credit of 1000 piastres from Constantinople to take the measures required by the circumstances. Unfortunately no reply has been given and our local officials do not know to which authority they should turn." "Cholera is present in Kirklareli Quarante Églises Baba-Eski Babaeski à Vise Vize à Bounar-Hissar Pinarhisar à Luli Bourgaz Lüleburgaz à Ouzun Keupiru Uzunköprü and aound Krichan Kirikhan. In Tchorlou Çorlu typhus is wreaking havoc and smallpox is present here. Our entire region is devastated by an epizootic outbreak: smallpox and foot-and-mouth disease among the sheep anthrax and bubonic plague among the oxen and buffaloes. Money and serum have been requested from the Ministry of Agriculture but there has been no response. The chief veterinarian I spoke with assured me that it would be impossible to do anything until he has serum to treat the livestock and that if the epidemic disease continues to spread like this the livestock will be completely wiped out in our region." The Royal Consular Agent states that during and after the war between the Turks and Bulgarians also known as the Battle of Kirkkilise which was part of the Balkan Wars Muslim immigrants who continually flocked to Kirklareli and the surrounding areas brought cholera and other epidemic diseases to the region. "Regularly there are convoys of migrants who had left their villages in the surrounding areas of Adrianople Quarante Églises Lüleburgaz etc. before the Turco-Bulgarian War arriving from Anatolia by steamships. They are the ones who brought us cholera and the epidemic disease." He ended his manuscript report by stating there is no way to convince the authorities to have them disembark elsewhere outside the city or to prevent the arrival of these immigrants who are being directed utilizing forced requisitions to areas where cholera is spreading. This report was presented to the Italian chargé d'affaires with this letter additionally as below: "Healt Manuscript & Typescript, 3-9 October 1913. unknown
