Notes: Text in French.<br>This example does not include Perse Ancienne; it includes a complete set of Perse Moderne's 100 exquisite lithographed plates. <br>First edition of this survey of Modern Persia. This is the atlas volume for the Modern Persia section only. There are several atlas volumes that form part of the larger set with text volumes which are not present here. While complete sets are very rare and the part on ancient Persia focuses mainly on ancient monuments and structures of architectural interest the modern part describes the country during the 19th century many parts of which were difficult and unsafe to access; it is therefore of greater interest and the more sought after. <br>Jean-Baptiste Eugène Napoléon Flandin 1809-1889 was a French orientalist painter archaeologist and politician. He is most renowned for his famous drawings and paintings of Persian monuments landscapes and social life made during his travels with the architect Pascal Coste during the years 1839-41. Flandin’s observations on the state of Persia and international politics in the mid-19th century also continue to provide important documentary information. In 1839 Flandin was along with Coste made a laureate of the Institut de France and they both joined the embassy of the Comte de Sercey to Persia. After parting from de Sercey’s mission they left Isfahan with very limited financial means and retinue. Flandin’s courage during this journey which spanned the entirety of Persia was praised by Coste who also noted his intrepidity during times of duress. Their timetable and work were strictly organized. After Flandin’s return to France he was awarded the Légion d’honneur in 1842 for his part in this government-sponsored archaeological mission. The atlas volumes form part of the larger set with text volumes not included here. <br> Size: Folio 612 mm x 432 mm Illustration: 100 lithographed plates including 2 finely hand coloured plates.

In 1857 Pascal Sébah opened one of the first photographic studios in Constantinople. Having met with great success in 1873 he expanded the business setting up a further establishment in Cairo near to the renowned Shepheard's Hotel. In 1883 he suffered a stroke and the business was taken over by his son Jean who styled himself J. Pascal Sebah so as not to break the continuity of the business and was to become a talented photographer in his own right. In 1888 he went into partnership with a French photographer resident in Istanbul Policarpe Joaillier the firm in time becoming official photographers of the Sultan. In various forms this business continued down to the middle of the 20th century when in 1952 its last incarnation Foto Sabah finally closed its doors.

189054541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover.<br /> <br /> Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall.<br /> <br /> The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890.<br /> <br /> Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.<br /> <br /> Bibliographic refences: Jacobson Ken.

1880J3HGA8OYHYKWEgypt and elsewhere 1880. With 9 carte de visite albumen prints ca. 8.5 x 5.5 cm by Hammerschmidt and Van Lint two albumen prints 9.5 x 12.5 cm by Sébah mounted on paper one silver gelatin print 8.5 x 11.5 cm by Lehnert & Landrock and one silver gelatin print 27 x 21 cm by Schroeder & Cie in a passepartout. Collection of early photographs of North-Africa and the Middle East by several photographers who had worked in the region. The main part of this collection consists of carte de visite portraits by Wilhelm Hammerschmidt ca. 1830-1869 from the 1860s. Most of them show Egyptians including a porter carrying a large chest on his back and a blind man. Three outdoor photographs show a group of men one holding a pipe almost as long as himself a camel rider and two camels in profile. Two larger photographs by the firm of Pascal Sébah from Istanbul date from the 1870s or 1880s and show a caravan halting in the desert. Of later date is the single image by the photographic duo Lehnert & Landrock who worked in Tunis in 1904-1914. Their picture which was popularly used in picture postcards shows a small group overlooking an oasis near Tripoli. The largest and most artistic photograph is by the Swiss firm Schroeder & Cie and dates from the 1880s. This striking image shows the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo with the crumbling remains of a rock and wall acting as repoussoir and a figure at the front watching from the shade. A strange stowaway in this collection is a single carte de visite by the Italian photographer Enrico Van Lint 1829-1882 of "Galileo's Lamp" the bronze lamp which Vincenzo Possenti created after a drawing by Leon-Battista Alberti in 1587 for the Pisa Cathedral.With 4 of the cartes de visite labelled on the back and one stamped with a name; the paper of the Sebáh photograph with an inscription in English and the Schroeder with an inscription on the back. Some of the sheets or cards on which the photographs are mounted are somewhat tattered at the edges and the cartes de visite have probably been trimmed. Photograph by Lehnert & Landrock with a diagonal fold. All photographs are otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Octavo. xxxii 383 1 ads. 9.25" x 6" PASCAL USED FOR BRITISH RELIGIOUS CRITIQUE<br /> <br /> Originally published in 1657 Pascal's Provincial Letters scathingly renounced the Jesuits as the order clashed with Jansenists and secular humanists. Eventually the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773 by Pope Clement XIV under political pressures.However as the spirit of revolution died during the Napoleonic aftermath of the French Revolution Western Europe restored its old political order and the papacy revisited Jesuit suppression. <br /> <br /> This 1816 edition was published in London just two years after Pope Pius VII released his papal bull Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum called the Late Bull for the Revival of the Order in Europe in this text reinstating the Jesuit order throughout Europe––the first edition of Provincial Letters to include the bull. In a religiously conservative period dominated by the Church of England the pope's change was not received well as it took the Jesuits over a decade to regain traction in England. Pascal's precise biting defense of the inseparability of morality and spirituality resonated with the practical British religious sensibility. Gale and Fenner unknown

Two beautiful photographs by Jean Pascal Sébah 1872-1947 one of the most famous photographers of his time who specialised in Orientalist photography.

Apart from their photographs of important locations in the Middle East the Sébahs were known to stage genre scenes which were used as illustrations in scientific Orientalist publications. The present photographs were likely one of those scenes. They show four Arabic men demonstrating the positions of the raka'ah. The first photographs shows the first and second position standing and bowing or qiyam and ruku. The second photographs shows kneeling and the beginning of prostration or jalsa and sujud.Father and son Sébah rose to prominence because of their well-organized compositions careful lighting and quality of their prints. The present photographs are indeed beautifully lit and composed and still in very good condition despite their age. They are wonderful examples of Jean Pascal Sebah's craftmanship.The photographs are slightly creased and discoloured around the edges but otherwise in very good condition. unknown
