The Grand National Assembly of Turkey approved the Law on the Ankara-Eregli Railway Line under the name 'The Railway Leading to Coal'. This important railway line, which the young Republic of Turkey wished to establish to face the future and move forward, was going to run between the coal city Zonguldak and Irmak station, near the capital Ankara. The construction of the railway started on 7th February 1927 and the 102-kilometer line, running between Irmak and Çankiri, became operative on the 23rd of April 1931. The railway between Irmak-Filyos, which had a total length of 391 kilometers, went into operation on 12th November 1935 with a ceremony held in Filyos. It comprised 27 stations, 1368 culverts, and bridges and 37 tunnels, and had a total length of 8800 kilometers.". (Source: Irmak Karabük Zonguldak Railway Line - UDHB).

Cornelius Loos in the Ottoman world: Drawings for the King of Sweden, 1710-1711. [with] Panoramas & map [book]. Prep. by Lâle Uluç, David Jones, Klas Kronberg, Ersu Pekin. 2 volumes. [BOXED]. Cornelius Loos was one of the young military officers who followed Karl XII to the Ottoman Empire in 1709. From the royal headquarters in what is at present the republic of Moldova, Loos was sent to Istanbul on the King's orders in 1710. From there his journey was pursued by boat over the Mediterranean to Egypt and he returned by land through Jerusalem, Damascus, Aleppo, Konya and Izmir. Loos' mission was to make drawings of the "rarities and monuments" that he would encounter on his journey. Out of the drawings that have survived until today, one is from Palmyra, two from Rhodes and Bodrum and around forty aquarelle tush drawings from Istanbul. It is possible that part of the original drawings were destroyed in the "Skirmish at Bender" in 1713, while other works, due to various reasons, disappeared on their way to Sweden. The conserved drawings are kept at the Swedish National Museum and were exhibited there in 1985. (See catalogue titled "Cornelius Loos. Teckningar från en expedition till Främre Orienten 1719-1711", Stockholm, Nationalmuseum, 1985). The drawings represent a unique record of the urban landscape and the monuments in Istanbul in the early 18th century. The collection includes three great panoramas of the city seen from the Topkapi palace to the upper part of the Golden Horn. To the Loos paintings can be added the great Mecca painting brought to Sweden by Mikael Eneman and kept in the Uppsala University Library, and a small group of oil paintings brought back by Loos' travel companion Conrad Sparre, which are also kept in the art collection of Uppsala University. In addition there are travel accounts and correspondence from these journeys. (From the 'SRII's official site, Karin Adahl's project). "In January 1710 the Swedish king Charles XII, in exile in the Ottoman Empire, sent three of his officers on a journey from the royal camp near Bender in Moldova to travel to Constantinople and from there along the Eastern Mediterranean to Egypt. Their mission was 'to view the there existing rarities and monuments, to draw and to measure'. Cornelius Loos, one of the young officers, returned to his king in 1711 with more than 250 drawings. Only forty-nine, kept under the king's bed, survived a skirmish in the camp in 1713, the so called 'kalabalik' at Bender. King Charles had a vision to publish an encyclopaedic work about the Near East, a dream that was lost in the fire in the camp. The drawings were brought to Sweden when the king returned from the Ottoman Empire in 1714. He died in battle in Norway in 1718. Loos' drawings are unique documents of Constanttinople in the early 18th century, with large scale, detailed panoramas, important prospects of the interior of the Hagia Sophia and views from the Ottoman city. A big map is accompanied by minor drawings from the Black Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean and Egypt, as well as a spectacular set of water-colours of head dresses from the Ottoman world. The Loos collection of drawings is today kept in the National Museum in Stockholm.". Texts by Göran Baarnhielm, Ulla Ehrensvard, Nurhan Atasoy, Günsel Renda, Bo Lundstörm

New New English Original bdg. Dust wrapper. Elephant folio. (47 x 35 cm). In English and Turkish. 219 p., color and b/w ills. The torch of the Empire: Ignatius Mouradgea d'Ohsson and the tableau general of the Ottoman Empire in the eighteenth century.= Imparatorlugun mesalesi: XVIII. yüzyilda Osmanli Imparatorlugu'nun genel görünümü ve Ignatius Mouradgea d'Ohsson. Articles by Carter Vaughn Findley, Günsel Renda, Philip Mansel, Veniamin Ciobanu, Kemal Beydilli, Abdeljelil Temimi, Rachida Tlili Sellaouti, Folke Ludwigs Sture Theolin. The Torch of the Ottoman Empire presents the life and work of a truly remarkable person, Ignatius Mouradgea d'Ohsson, and through him, the Ottoman Empire of the late eighteenth century. In revolutionary Paris d'Ohsson published in 1789 what is maybe the best description of the social history of the Ottoman Empire, Tableau General de I'Empire Othoman. D'Ohsson's book was extravagantly illustrated with the help of the best artists in Constantinople working for Abdulhamid I and Selim III. The most renowned artists of pre-revolutionary France then executed the gravures in Paris. Some motifs, reproduced also in this present book, still remain quite unique. Through these engravings, an intimate reality is revealed to us, bringing us very close to a universe long since vanished. A very heavy volume. The Torch of the Empire presents the life and work of a truly remarkable person, Ignatius Mouradgea d'Ohsson, and through him, the Ottoman Empire of the late eighteenth century. Ignatius Mouradgea d'Ohsson was a dragoman, an interpreter, at the Swedish Legation in Constantinople from around 1760. Although d'Ohsson was a Sultan's subject of French-Armenian origin, Sweden's King Gustav III made him a Swedish nobleman and trusted him to be his ambassador to the Sublime Porte. Mouradgea d'Ohsson thus performed an extraordinary journey, not only through the social classes of Ottoman society, but between civilizations. With outstanding scholars this book escorts us on a journey through the centuries to meet d'Ohsson and share his perspective on the Ottoman Empire and on European diplomacy of his time.
