New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (29 x 25 cm). In English and Turkish. 212 p., color and b/w ills. The Swedish palace in Istanbul. A thousand years of cooperation between Turkey and Sweden.= Istanbul'da bir Isveç sarayi. Isveç ile Türkiye arasinda bin yillik isbirligi. Preface by Anna Lindth. Translated by Sevin Okyay. "One thousand years of Turkish-Swedish cooperation reflects fascinating aspects of the abundant contacts which mutual interests have fostered over decades and centuries. The Swedish Palace in Istanbul documents that relationship in both languages. Included are many beautiful illustrations and historic photos. Swedish Vikings served in the Byzantine army and were among the first to meet the Turkic peoples coming into Anatolia around one thousand years ago. Sweden and Turkey concluded commercial agreements in the 18th century and joined into military alliances that earned Sweden the honorary title of Turkey's oldest friend. In 1924 Sweden and the new Turkish Republic under Kemal Ataturk concluded a Treaty of Mutual Friendship and Cooperation. Since 1757 Sweden has owned a Palace in Istanbul, albeit a modest one, for her diplomatic missions. This site continues to retain its historical significance as a focal point of Turkish-Swedish relations, particularly in view of Turkey's status as a candidate to the European Union.".
New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. 4to. (30 x 24 cm). In English. 343 p., color and b/w ills. The Sultan's procession: The Swedish embassy to Sultan Mehmed IV in 1657-1658 and the Rålamb paintings. In 1657, King Charles X Gustaf of Sweden sent Claes Ralamb as an envoy to Sultan Mehmed IV's court. While he was there, Ralamb commissioned 20 large paintings in oil on canvas, depicting an imperial procession through Istanbul in September 1657, providing a revealing insight into the court of Sultan Mehmed IV in Ottoman Turkey. For the first time, Ralamb's paintings are published here in "The Sultan's Procession". This beautifully illustrated book - containing over 150 colour illustrations - comprehensively covers the full history of the paintings, including a technical analysis from the conservation of one of the paintings. The book also provides a full history of Claes Ralamb and his mission, including the political background of the Swedish embassy, Ralamb's biography and English translations of primary sources in Swedish and Turkish archives. Among the illustrations are over 100 watercolours of people in the Ottoman society from the costume album acquired by Ralamb in Istanbul. These unique Ralamb paintings provide a rare window into life at the Ottoman court in the 17th century.
