The Ottoman land represented a bridge between Asia and Europe, which was destroyed by epidemic diseases that emerged in different periods. In the 19th century, the main source of epidemic was the cholera morbus that emerged in India in the lower Bengal delta between the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. At the beginning of the 19th century, the disease became a global threat. Cholera epidemic appeared for the first time in the Ottoman territory in 1822, and continued to emerge into intermediate outbreaks. Due to its geographical location, the cholera epidemic was easily spread to the Ottoman territory and caused great losses in the 19th century, when it became a global threat. At the beginning of the 20th century, still cholera was a serious problem. Prokopi is a settlement in Central Asia Minor, built on a plateau at an altitude of 1,200 m above sea level. It lies near the confluence of four tributary rivers of the Alys River (Kizilirmak), which flows to the north of Ürgüp, within about 10 km from the settlement. It has been claimed that the word Ürgüp is the Turkish version of the Greek name Prokopi. The latter is supposed to refer to St. Prokopios, although there is no evidence suggesting the existence of a namesake church. Levidis supported that the ancient name of the settlement was Osiana, which the traveller Texier (Charles) adopted as well. Ürgüp was inhabited by Muslims, Turkish-speaking Greek-Orthodox and some Armenians. Several conflicting opinions have been stated about the population. Farasopoulos talks about 15,000 Muslims and 5,000 Christians. According to an inventory carried out by the state in 1919, Ürgüp was inhabited by 12,500 Muslims, 6,000 Christian-Orthodox and 15-20 Armenian families.
1 épreuve gélatino argentique [120 x 172 mm] contrecollée sur carton fort de l'époque , , in-8, 1 épreuve gélatino argentique [120 x 172 mm] contrecollée sur carton fort de l'époque, , Portrait de Louis Pasteur sur son lit mortuaire. Étant donné son cadrage et sa proximité, ce portrait mortuaire a sans doute été effectué par un proche de Pasteur; il ne s'agit pas d'une prise de vue officielle. Louis Pasteur, né le 27 décembre 1822, meurt le 28 septembre 1895 à 16h40 à Villeneuve-l'Étang, dans l'annexe dite « de Garches » de l'Institut Pasteur, où il s'installait souvent l'été. Sa chambre y est toujours conservée. Des funérailles nationales lui sont réservées le 5 octobre suivant, au cours desquelles son corps, préalablement embaumé, est déposé dans la crypte de Notre-Dame de Paris. En 1896, à la demande de son épouse, son corps fut placé dans la crypte de l'Institut où il repose au milieu de ses disciples. Un masque mortuaire est visible dans la crypte. Un négatif sur plaque de verre montrant la chambre mortuaire prise en 1926 est conservé au Département Estampes et photographie à la BnF (8/5/26, la chambre mortuaire de Pasteur à Garches : photographie de presse / Agence Rol.) Un cliché mortuaire montrant Pasteur sur son lit de mort en présence de ses petits enfants a été publié en 1956 par sa petite-fille Camille: Pasteur Vallery-Radot, Images de la vie et de l'oeuvre, p. 158 (document photographique provenant de la collection Pasteur Vallery-Radot). Le carton sur lequel est contrecollé le portrait de Pasteur porte un fin liseret rouge d'encadrement, le bord supérieur du tirage est accidenté.
