Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original six albumen print photographs. Each 12x9 cm. Fine photographs in its original feuille in very good condition. Very early, unique and historically significant six albumen prints, showing the mass executions of Turkish soldiers by the Russian army on the Caucasus Front (probably in Bayazid region) during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878, in its original feuille of Gewaert - "Blaustern" Papier (L. Gewaert & Cie.) in Berlin and Vienna, with the seal of photographer "Michael Vogel; Zemen" on verso. All photos focus on the executions on death rows taken from different angles. In the Turkish village where the events took place, military barracks, mosques in the background, snowy ground in winter, Russian soldiers and captive Turkish soldiers are clearly visible. 'War of '93', named for the year 1293 in the Islamic calendar; (Russko-Turetskaya Voyna, or "Russian-Turkish War) was a conflict between the Ottoman Empire and a coalition led by the Russian Empire, and including Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro. Fought in the Balkans and in the Caucasus, it originated in emerging 19th century Balkan nationalism. Additional factors included the Russian goals of recovering territorial losses endured during the Crimean War of 1853-56, re-establishing itself in the Black Sea and supporting the political movement attempting to free Balkan nations from the Ottoman Empire. The Russian-led coalition won the war, pushing the Ottomans back all the way to the gates of Constantinople, leading to the intervention of the western European great powers. As a result, Russia succeeded in claiming provinces in the Caucasus, namely Kars and Batum, and also annexed the Budjak region. The principalities of Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro, each of which had had de facto sovereignty for some years, formally proclaimed independence from the Ottoman Empire. After almost five centuries of Ottoman domination (1396-1878), an autonomous Bulgarian state emerged with the help and military intervention of Russia: the Principality of Bulgaria, covering the land between the Danube River and the Balkan Mountains (except Northern Dobruja which was given to Romania), as well as the region of Sofia, which became the new state's capital. The Congress of Berlin in 1878 also allowed Austria-Hungary to occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina and Great Britain to take over Cyprus. The initial Treaty of San Stefano, signed on 3 March 1878, is today celebrated on Liberation Day in Bulgaria, although the occasion somewhat fell out of favour during the years of Communist rule. The Russian Caucasus Corps was stationed in Georgia and Armenia, composed of approximately 50,000 men and 202 guns under the overall command of Grand Duke Michael Nikolaevich, Governor General of the Caucasus. The Russian force stood opposed by an Ottoman Army of 100,000 men led by General Ahmed Muhtar Pasha. While the Russian army was better prepared for the fighting in the region, it lagged behind technologically in certain areas such as heavy artillery and was outgunned, for example, by the superior long-range Krupp artillery that Germany had supplied to the Ottomans. The Caucasus Corps was led by a quartet of Armenian commanders: Generals Mikhail Loris-Melikov, Arshak Ter-Gukasov (Ter-Ghukasov/Ter-Ghukasyan), Ivan Lazarev and Beybut Shelkovnikov. Forces under Lieutenant-General Ter-Gukasov, stationed near Yerevan, commenced the first assault into Ottoman territory by capturing the town of Bayazid on 27 April 1877. Capitalizing on Ter-Gukasov's victory there, Russian forces advanced, taking the region of Ardahan on 17 May; Russian units also besieged the city of Kars in the final week of May, although Ottoman reinforcements lifted the siege and drove them back. Bolstered by reinforcements, in November 1877 General Lazarev launched a new attack on Kars, suppressing the southern forts leading to the city and capturing Kars itself on 18 November. On 19 February 1878, the strategic fortress to

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original newspaper. Folio. (49 x 33 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters) and imprint details in bilingual in Russian and Turkish. 4 p. An early issue of this extremely rare newspaper published in Tbilisi by Mehemmedaga Sahtahtli between 1903 and 1905 as 392 issues in total, published for all Turks and Islamic groups in Russia, which had a significant position in the modernization history of Azerbaijani and Russian Turks and the political and social changes at the end of the 19th and the early 20th centuries for Islamic minorities in Russia. The articles were included in this issue as follows: Tiflis-Musahabe by Mehemmed Bey Kasimbekov, pp. 1-2 (about the Girls' Schools in the Caucasus.; Türkistan'a Seyahat by Tacir Arif, pp. 2-3 [Voyage into Turkestan], Öz Muhbirlerimizden-Uralsk'dan-Men Garra' Gurra'-Tercüman ve Muharriri, pp. 3 [an article criticizing "Sark-i Rus"' publishing policy]; Kirim, Öz Muhbirlerimizden-Kirim'dan-Akmescid'de Darü'l-Muallimîn, pp. 3-4 [about the school for theachers, which was opened in Akmescit (Simferopol) in 1870 and provides education in Russian, the number of students and the education program and the inadequacy of the Muslim education of the same school]; Öz Muhbirlerimizden-Bakû'dan, pp. 4 [about the Muslims of Baku losing their influence from the commercial life of the city]; etc. The first Turkish newspapers titled "Ziya", "Ziya-yi Kafkasiye" and "Keshkul" published in Tbilisi in the 19th century were closed by the Russian authorities. The newspaper "Sark-i Rus", published in 1891, long after the closure of Keskul, became the first Turkish newspaper published in the Caucasus at the beginning of the 20th century. Mehemmedaga Sahtahtli, or Mammad agha Shahtakhtinski (1846-1931), was an Azerbaijani linguist and public figure. In 1902, Shahtakhtinski returned to Caucasus and settled in Tiflis. Here in March 1903, he founded the Azeri-language newspaper Sharg-i Rus ("The Russian Orient") dedicated to the academic enlightenment of the Muslims of the Caucasus. His articles propagated the necessity of Europeanisation, which he saw as the only possible way to a stable and developed future. He sharply criticised Islamic fanaticism, which in his opinion was a major obstacle in the development of Azeri culture and was incompatible with the idea of progress. He also dismissed Pan-Turkism, a popular theory among Turkic-speaking scholars and political activists of the time, and propagated the use of folk Azeri as a literary language, as opposed to the common practice of using Ottoman Turkish. He was among the peacemakers during the bloody Armenian-Tatar massacres of 1905-1907. In 1907, he was elected to the State Duma of the Russian Empire (second convocation). After dissolution of the duma, he worked for Petersburg-based newspaper "Russia", then edited by Pyotr Stolypin. Between 1908 and 1918, Shahtakhtinski lived in various parts of the Middle East, including Anatolia, Iraq and Persia, meanwhile writing articles for "Turkestan Times" (Russian: Turkestanskie Vedomosti). During this time abroad, he worked at the Russian embassy to the Ottoman Empire as translator between 1909 and 1912. In 1919, he returned to then-independent Azerbaijan to give lectures at the newly established Azerbaijan State University. Shahtakhtinski was among the numerous scholars who had followed Mirza Fatali Akhundov in proposing an alphabet reform for Azeri, suggesting to reform the existing Perso-Arabic script. The unsuitability of the Arabic alphabet to Turkic languages in general was in his opinion a major obstacle to the spread of literacy among Azeris. Between 1879 and 1903, Shahtakhtinski designed several model alphabets for Azeri, some of them Roman-based, however none of them was implemented in practice. He attended Congress of the Peoples of the East, acting as an interpreter for Turkish, French, German, Persian and Arabic in 1920. In 1923, Shahtakhtinski as member of a special four-mem

Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary non-aesthetic burgundy cloth bdg. Demy 8vo. (22 x 14,5 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 299, [6] p. Fading on cloth, minor repairs on some pages, otherwise a good copy. Lithographed edition. First and only Turkish edition of this uncommon and very scarce early book of the history of Russia under the rule of Peter the Great. This book was published during the Crimean War, which was a military conflict fought from October 1853 to February 1856 in which Russia lost to an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, the United Kingdom, and Piedmont-Sardinia. The first four chapters describe the general political and social history of Russia at the time of Peter the Great. The following chapters narrate important events like the new revolution in Sofia, the first diplomatic relations with China in the period and the first agreement between the Russian and Chinese Empires, The Siege of Azov Fortress, the agreement with the Saxony, Peter the Great's travels to Europe, rebuild of St. Petersburg, The Battle of Narva and the Siege of Narva, return of the Great Tsar to Russia from France, commerce in Russia in the period of the Peter the Great's rule, etc. Peter I, most commonly known as Peter the Great, was a monarch of Russia who modernized it and made it a European power. He ruled the Tsardom of Russia from 7 May [O.S. 27 April] 1682 to 1721 and subsequently the Russian Empire until his death in 1725, jointly ruling before 1696 with his elder half-brother, Ivan V. To improve his nation's position on the seas, Peter sought more maritime outlets. His only outlet at the time was the White Sea at Arkhangelsk. The Baltic Sea was at the time controlled by Sweden in the north, while the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea were controlled by the Ottoman Empire and Safavid Empire respectively in the south. Peter attempted to acquire control of the Black Sea, which would require expelling the Tatars from the surrounding areas. As part of an agreement with Poland that ceded Kyiv to Russia, Peter was forced to wage war against the Crimean Khan and against the Khan's overlord, the Ottoman Sultan. Peter's primary objective became the capture of the Ottoman fortress of Azov, near the Don River. In the summer of 1695, Peter organized the Azov campaigns to take the fortress, but his attempts ended in failure. Through a number of successful wars, he captured ports at Azov and the Baltic Sea, laying the groundwork for the Imperial Russian Navy, ending uncontested Swedish supremacy in the Baltic, and beginning the Tsardom's expansion into a much larger empire that became a major European power. He led a cultural revolution that replaced some of the traditionalist and medieval social and political systems with ones that were modern, scientific, Westernised, and based on the Enlightenment. Shuvalov was called the Maecenas of the Russian Enlightenment and the first Russian Minister of Education. Russia's first theatre, university, and Academy of Arts were instituted with his active participation. He was born in Moscow, the only son of Ivan Menshoi Shuvalov, an army captain who died when the boy was ten, and Tatiana Rodionovna. The Shuvalov family fortunes changed drastically in 1741 when Empress Elizaveta Petrovna ascended to the Russian throne with help from Ivan's powerful cousins - Peter Shuvalov and Alexander Shuvalov. The following year, they had the fourteen-year-old Ivan attached to the imperial court as a page.

Very Good English Paperback. Pbo. Demy 8vo. (21 x 15 cm). In Turkish. 116 p. Munif Fehim (1899 - 1983), was the son of the renowned actor Ahmet Fehim, Münif at an early age did the sets for a play by Musahipzade Celal entitled Istanbul Efendisi (an Istanbul gentleman). After graduating from a school in Scutari, he enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, and in the 1910s illustrated a book by Leyla Saz. He did sets and costumes for turkish films, and his first drawings were published in the magazine Fagfur. In 1921 Fehim was hired as an artist by the newspaper 'Ileri', while in 1924 he teamed with some writers to put out a humor magazine called Kelebek (Butterfly), for which he was the chief artist. He also illustrated Classical Turkish poetry in Refik Halid (Karay)'s magazine 'Aydede', this illustrations later being collected in an album entitled Siir Bahçeleri (=Gardens of Verse). In 1937 Fehim had his first exhibition, together with Cemal Nadir at Istanbul's Taksim Kristal Gazino. He worked for such magazines and newspapers as 'Akbaba, Ikdam, Vakit, Mizah, Son Posta, Cumhuriyet, Tan, Yedigün, and Yirminci Asir', and in 1940 illustrated books entitled 'Elli Türk Büyügü' =[Fifty Great Turks], and 'Dünden Hatiralar' =[Memoires of yesteryear]. During the 1950s he drew for the magazine 'Resimli Tarih Mecmuasi' =[Illustrated history] published by Server Iskit. Fehim's illustrations left their stamp on one period of publishing, as he drew for both newspapers and magazines, treating historical subjects and recent life in Istanbul with a keen, documenting eye.
