Preferred Citation Views of Bursa, circa 1865-1875, Getty Research Institute, Research Library, Accession no. 2002.R.42 - Page 3 - INVENTORY OF VIEWS OF BURSA, CIRCA 1865-1875 2002.R.42 Biographical/Historical Note Pascal Sébah owned El Chark, one of the most successful photography studios in Istanbul, and also established a studio in Cairo in 1873. After Sébah’s death, his brother Cosimi and nephew Jean took over the firm. They eventually went into partnership with Policarpe Joallier, changing the name to Sébah and Joailler. Scope and Content of Collection The albumen photographs in this collection taken from 1865-1875 depict views of the Turkish city of Bursa and its monuments. Located across the sea of Marmara from Istanbul, Bursa was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire. Included are six panoramic views of the city, interior and exterior views of the Ulu Cami, Yesil and Murad I mosques, the Yildirim Beyazit mosque and tomb, and the tombs of Cem Sultan, Mehmed I, and Osman Bey. Also included is one photograph with the handwritten caption "Fontaine dans le vieux palais du Serail," by an unidentified photographer. The photographs appear to be part of a mock-up for an illustrated book. For additional photographs bearing numbers sequential to those in this collection see Special Collections accession no. 2004.R.44 (Views of Asia Minor). The sixteen photographs are pasted on eight mounts, recto and verso, numbered 191-206. Most of the photographs are captioned, numbered, and signed in the negative in French. Additional French captions, either handwritten or typeset, are pasted on the mounts below the images. Titles are from captions in the negatives, except where noted.
