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.

1890réf. 1031341890. PHOTOCHROM ZURICH. Constantinople. Zrich: Photochrom Zrich circa 1890. Oblong folio 16 by 12 inches 30 photochrom images each measuring approximately 9 by 6-1/2 inches and mounted on heavy cardstock; original red velvet blue silk gilt-lettered title centerpiece on front cover brass cornerpieces. $4500.Rare photographic album of Constantinople circa 1890 by the renowned studio of Photochrom Zrich with 30 beautiful mounted vintage photochrom color prints offering exceptional views of majestic mosques palaces and plazas as well as the people of this great city in magnificent velvet binding with brass furniture.This splendid souvenir album of Constantinople contains exquisite color photographic prints of images taken at the turn of the 20th century produced by the revolutionary photochrom process. Photochrom also called the Ac process is ""a very successful form of color photolithography developed in the late 19th century by the Swiss firm of Orell Fssli 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 Zrich and then the title of the scene in French. A few instances of marginal spotting to mounts; photochrom prints clean and fine with vivid colors. Binding splendid. An about-fine copy of this lovely album. unknown books
1913réf. 055948Rodosto & Constantinopoli: Manuscript & Typescript 3-9 October 1913. 1913. No Binding. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A one-page typed letter with autograph marginal notes and a two-page manuscript report in black ink. Both are written on bifolia papers with "Renage's Mill" watermark One is "Banknote Paper" the other is "Extra Strong". "Agenzia Consolare d'Italia Rodosto" & "Consolato Generale d'Italia in Constantinopoli" letterheads. 27x21 cm. The letter is in Italian report is in French. 1 p.; 2 p. Signed. 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

2013New English Paperback. Pbo. Mint. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). With a CD. 102 p. B/w ills. This book refutes the thesis of Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations. Instead, it supports the Alliance of Civilizations supervised by the United Nations. It describes religious-historical and cultural monuments in the region including Istanbul Cibali-Fener-Balat-Ayvansaray where three monotheistic religions live together under the peaceful conditions and they practice their religions. The thesis of Alliance of Civilizations has been examined theoretically within the context of the book. We hope that thesis of the Alliance of Civilizations, co-chaired by Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero under the umbrella of the United Nations, will make considerable contribution to the world peace.

2004Narrating the development and disappearance of the world's first war machine, this book reminds readers that much of the power of ancient empires was two-wheeled and horse-driven. Harnessed to other historians' broad-spectrum research on the causes of the end of the Bronze Age, Cotterell argues that, much like the later introduction of the stirrup, chariot technology dramatically recast battlefield strategy across the ancient world. Egyptians employed chariots as all-purpose fighting machines, while Roman chariots were more ceremonial, and Indian troops used theirs as archery platforms; Chinese engineers developed more efficient harnesses, permitting heavier cars. The author's comparative approach broadens the appeal of what would otherwise seem a narrow topic, but this account nevertheless behaves as a detailed military history. Particularly interesting for such scholarship, the author also discusses the chariot as a vehicle for modern popular culture; it aims to dispel the notion that chariots were simply horse-pulled tanks.

Beyond looking at various moments in the city?s life from 1800 to 1955, the exhibition also considers the dynamic of Istanbul as a center of gravity attracting the monetary and intellectual wealth of empires to further knowledge of Byzantium, ultimately resulting in the emergence of Byzantine studies as a discipline. The accompanying volume brings together thirteen scholarly papers by Beatrice Daskas, Ceren Abi, Firuzan Melike Sumertas, Mertkan Karaca, Philipp Niewohner, Edhem Eldem, Pinar Aykac, Kerim Altug, Jean-Michel Spieser, Elena N. Boeck, Jonathan Bardill, Barbara Bessac and Remi Labrusse, focusing on archaeology, history, art history, architectural history, urbanism, museology, cultural heritage, as well as an explanatory introduction by the exhibition curator Brigitte Pitarakis.
2015New English Paperback. 4to. (29 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 384 p., color and b/w ills. The famous aphorism of Hippocrates-'life is short, art long'-stands at the heart of this exhibition, which examines the art and practice of healing in Byzantium from Roman times to the late Byzantine period. It traces the concurrent methods of healing-faith, magic, and rational medicine-from the foundations laid by Apollo and Asklepios, healers of antiquity, as well as Hippocrates and Dioscorides, the founders of rational medicine. The fascinating coexistence of a belief in demons as the primary cause of illness and a rational perception of disease, grounded in Hippocratic teachings, come together in the protagonists of the "art of healing"-the physicians, druggists, saints, holy men, and magicians who healed the sick. The daily rituals involved in maintaining and pursuing well-being, protecting against demons, purifying the body and soul offer a glimpse into the daily life of the Byzantines. The exhibition catalogue illustrates the influence of Byzantium's ancient cultural heritage on religious and rational thought as well as contemporary scientific developments and innovations from around the Mediterranean. The catalogue is one of the most updated and extensive publication on the history and art of healing in Byzantium with essays written by the acclaimed academics and with various works, some of them being published for the first time.

Museum, and showed how the Ottoman-European relationships and political events has reflected in Arts, a theme common with the previously held exhibition entitled From the Medicis to the Savoias, Ottoman Splendour in Florentine Collections. Along with being a rich art collection for the museums, the large number of portraits where the foreigners pose in Turkish costumes in their homeland after fighting with the Turks, showing how "Fear from the Turks" converted into a fascination, and the goods from the Ottomans that are either gained from wars, received as presents or bought, and the important role that they played in the European social life have always been interesting subjects for historians and other social researchers. In the exhibition, 92 oil paintings, landscapes and engravings, coming from different Museums in Central Europe (especially Slovenia) and private collections from England and Turkey, were displayed. The exhibition was made possible with the contributions of Credit Suisse.
