New English Paperback. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 285 p. Color and b/w ills. "This unique collection takes a fresh look at Orientalism by shifting its center from Europe to Ottoman Istanbul and thinking about art in terms of exchange, reciprocity, and comparative imperialisms. This new lens reveals the essential role of the Ottoman city and its patrons and artists in the dialogues that facilitated production, circulation, and consumption of British Orientalist cultures. In this volume, art works are conceptualized as traveling artifacts produced through localized interactions. World renowned scholars and curators analyze the diverse audiences for such art works and the range of differing contexts for their reception both in the 19th century and more recently. In this way, British art is put into a dynamic relationship with an historicized understanding of cultures of collecting and display during the formation of comparative modernities and also with the contemporary postcolonial creation of new national models of exhibition and education. Featuring stunning visuals, this book puts art history in the context of cultural, visual, and literary studies, challenging the orthodoxies of postcolonial theory with the materiality of multiple imperialisms and modernities to offer a new take on the collection, display, and consumption of Orientalist cultures.".

New English Paperback. 4to. (28 x 24 cm). In English and Turkish. 360 p., color ills. The lure of the East: British orientalist painting.= Dogu'nun cazibesi: Britanya oryantalist resmi. [Exhibition catalogue]. This exhibition focused on the paintings made by British artists of the 'Orient', primarily during the nineteenth century. In this context the term 'Orient', to Western Europeans, meant those parts of the eastern Mediterranean world which could be accessed relatively easily such as Egypt, Palestine and Turkey, particularly after the development of steamboat and rail travel in the 1830s. In these places, predominantly Muslim and at least nominally under the control of the Ottoman Empire, British artists, such as David Roberts, David Wilkie, William Holman Hunt, John Frederick Lewis and Frederic Leighton, sought to develop imagery which captured what they believed to be characteristic of the people, cities and landscapes of the region. In the 1970s the Palestinian-American academic Edward Said published his treatise on Orientalism, initiating a global debate over Western representations of the Middle East. For many, such representations now appeared to be a sequence of fictions, serving the West's desire for superiority and control over the East. The argument for and against Said's Orientalism has continued for thirty years. Its resonance for an exhibition such as this one, however, is as strong as ever given that, by the 1920s (the end of the period covered by this exhibition), Britain was in direct control of much of the newly abolished Ottoman Empire, including Egypt, Palestine and Iraq. As Said argued, these images cannot be viewed in isolation from their wider political and cultural context. Keeping the debates around Orientalism in mind, "The Lure of the East" focuses on the range of pictorial options open to British artists, within five major themes: portraits, genre, religious and domestic subjects and landscape. British painters came to the Middle East from a culture steeped in technical and compositional artistic traditions. Such traditions were not easily unlearned, despite the apparent difference of the people and places the artists encountered on their travels. Given this, British Orientalist painters found many challenges in attempting to represent the Middle East, but they also found inspiration and, more importantly, the freedom to rework, reinvent and even discard those conventions that defined picture-making in Britain.

Fine Fine English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In English. [xii], 291, [1] p. First English Edition. Haci Ömer Sabanci was the founder of the Sabanci Group, one of Europe's largest industrial empires. By the time of his death in 1966, the family business included farms and orchards, a construction firm, two vegetable-oil factories, a cotton-gin, a flour-mill, the enormous Bossa Textile Plants, one of the first privately owned Turkish banks (Akbank) and an insurance company (Aksigorta). In 1921 the young Ömer left his village in Anatolia to seek his fortune in Adana. He arrived there a week after its liberation from occupying French forces by the Nationalists led by Mustafa Kemal. The city's economy was shattered by the First World War. With a capacity for punishing physical toil, an unstoppable energy and an insatiable thirst for financial adventure, Haci Ömer rose in a few years from lowly cotton washer to Adana's leading cotton magnate. He was exactly the new kind of entrepreneur that the fledgling post-Ottoman state was looking for. Born.

Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 13 cm). In English. 222 p. B/w ills. 'The Ottomans developed a highly organized society with many traditions. However, the writing and publicising of 'memoirs' was not one of them. Even the most illustrious Grand Vizier did not avail his personal diary to others for perusal (even if he ever did put them in black on white). This is what makes Leya (Saz) Hanimefendi's book rather unique. She was taken into the 'Harem' of Sultan Abdulmecid at the age of four and lefty Çiragan palace only to be married. She is the only woman who wrote (or rather dictated to her son) her actual experiences of life at the Çiragan Palace where Sultan Abdulmecid reigned. Her references to many incidents, from the utensils used to the Ladies' Orchestra make this book interesting both to the layman and to the historian. Her great sense of propriety and admiration for the way of life she enjoyed at the palace (despite the vigorous discipline) is another factor that makes reading these memoirs a jotfull experience'.
