- Lot Description
A CDV (carte de visite) photograph, captured by the renowned Abdullah Frères, depicts a distinguished Ottoman gentleman dressed in traditional attire, standing confidently against an exotic backdrop. The image is rich in detail, showcasing the intricate design of his clothing, including a heavily embroidered vest, a flowing robe, and traditional footwear. His poised stance and direct gaze reflect the pride and dignity of his status.
On the reverse, the CDV bears the official mark of Abdullah Frères, known as the official photographers to the Ottoman Sultan. The elegant inscription reads: "ABDDULLAH FRÈRES PHOTOGRAPHES DE SA MAJESTÉ IMPÉRIALE LE SULTAN," followed by "PERA CONSTANTINOPLE." The emblematic calligraphy and design further enhance the historical significance of this piece.
Abdullah Frères were prominent photographers in the late 19th century, famed for their portraits of the Ottoman elite and their exceptional contribution to early photography in the region. This CDV is not just a photograph but a historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. - Provenance
