Biographical / Historical
Pascal Sébah (1823-1886) was born in Istanbul (then Constantinople). His father was a
Syrian Melkite Catholic, and his mother was Armenian. Sébah purportedly started his studies
for the priesthood in Venice, but dropped out and returned to Istanbul. How he obtained
training as a photographer is unknown. He opened his first photography studio, P. Sébah
& Cie at 10 rue Tom-Tom in 1856 or 1857. He soon renamed his studio El Chark Societé
Photographique ("The East"), and by 1860 moved to 232 Grande Rue de Péra, and sometime after
1868 to number 439 on the same street, all the while keeping the Tom-Tom premises as a
workshop. He also opened a branch on Jardin des Fleurs that was destroyed by fire in 1870.
As evidenced by the proliferation of its locations, Sébah's business became one of the most
successful studios in the city, due in large part to its popularity with the tourist trade.
Sébah's early work was in landscape photography - scenes and views - including panoramas of
Istanbul, but he was also in demand as a portrait photographer. His images catering to the
tourist trade included numerous studio portraits depicting the diversity of Istanbul's
inhabitants.
In the early 1870s, Sébah became associated with the painter Osman Hamdi Bey, for whom he
produced photographs of models that the artist then used as studies for his paintings. He
also contributed the photographs for Osman Hamdi Bey's
Les costumes
populaires de la Turquie en 1873
, which was published under the patronage of the
Ottoman Imperial Commission for the 1873 Vienna International Exhibition. Sébah took
seventy-four photographs specifically for the publication which were printed in the Tom-Tom
workshop as phototypes, the photomechanical process also known as collotype. Sébah also
received a bronze medal for the views he entered in the exposition. In the same year, Sébah
established a studio in Cairo, which produced a great number of scenes of Egyptian life.
These were likely taken by photographers other than Sébah, including perhaps Antoine
Laroche, an early associate and employee who moved from Istanbul to Cairo, eventually
setting up his own studio there.
The Tom-Tom workshop burned in 1881 with the fire destroying the firm's photographic
equipment and the extensive archive of negatives - of Istanbul, Bursa, Edirne, Athens, and
Cairo - that Sébah had amassed over the years. Only two years later, before he could rebuild
his collection, Sébah suffered a brain hemorrhage. His brother Cosmi Sébah, who had worked
first with Pascal and then opened his own photography business in 1875, took over the
running of Pascal's firm. Sébah's sixteen-year-old son, Jean Pascal Sébah (1872-1947),
entered the firm a few years later. Jean went into partnership with Policarpe Joaillier in
1888, doing business under the name Sébah & Joaillier, while Cosmi continued to run the
old studio. Sébah & Joaillier acquired the negatives of Abdullah Frères in 1899. Later
renamed Photo Sabah (sabah is Turkish for "morning"), the firm remained in business until
1952.
Rober Caracachian (Robert Garakashyan, active 1870s-1920) was an Armenian photographer who
was also based in Istanbul. He opened a studio at 677 Teke in the 1870s that supplied the
tourist trade with portraits of Turkey's multi-ethnic inhabitants.

Processing Information
The album was cataloged by Beth Ann Guynn in 2010. In 2022, due to the condition of the
mounts, the photographs were removed from the album by the Getty Research Institute
conservation lab, and Guynn rehoused the photographs and wrote the finding aid.
Digitzed Material
The collection was digitized by the repository in 2022 and the images are available

Scope and Content of Collection
The album contains 117 albumen studio portraits (104 cartes-de-visite and 13 cabinet cards)
depicting the wide range of people who inhabited the Ottoman Empire in the second half of
the nineteenth century. While the bulk of the photographs are by Pascal Sébah, 11 portraits
by Rober Caracachian, and two photographs by Pascal's brother, Cosmi Sébah, are also
present. Annotations made by unidentifed persons on the album mounts and the versos of the
cartes-de-visite identify the sitters by their ethnicity, religion, or occupation. The
sitters are noted as being ethnically Albanian, Arab, Armenian, Bohemian, Bulgarian,
Circassian, Greek, Israelite, Kurd, Lebanese, Serb, Syrian, or Turk. Sufis (dervishes),
Christians, Jews, and Druzes are among the persons identified by their religion. A number of
the portraits of women are labled "dame turque" or "dame turque chez elle" (many of these
portraits were likely taken in the studio and not "at home" as their titles indicate,
although in the case of those without a studio backdrop present in the image this can not be
stated conclusively). Included, among other occupations, are street vendors selling various
kinds of wares and foods, porters, palace guards, soldiers, priests, and religious
mendicants. The only sitter identified by name is Sultan Abdülaziz I, whose 1873 portrait by
Pascal Sébah opens the album.
The card photographs are inserted in twenty card-slot mounts.The photographs begin with
three cabinet card portraits: Sultan Abdülaziz I, a veiled Turkish woman, and a priest at
prayer. These are followed by 16 pages of cartes-de-visite beginning with portraits of
Turkish women as well as Greeks, Armenians, Circassians, and women of other ethnicities.
Next are portraits of men, beginning with professors and priests, and moving on to
dervishes. The section concludes with several portraits of women of various ethnicities.
Next are eight cabinet cards depicting a nursing mother, women with hookahs, Druzes, and
zeybek warriors. They are followed by ten pages of cartes-de-visite of soldiers, warriors,
and male street vendors. The album concludes with two cabinet cards: a portrait of two
Syrian women and a Turkish family group of a little boy seated between his mother and
nanny.
The prize medal dates reproduced on the imprints on the versos of Pascal Sébah's mounts
indicate the cards were produced in 1873 or thereafter and in 1878 or thereafter. The
photographs themselves were taken in the 1870s. An example of how Sébah used and reused his
images over time, mounting them on cards bearing the latest iteration of his imprint, can be
found in the copy of Sébah's 1873 portrait of Sultan Abdülaziz present in the album that is
on a cabinet card mount that includes a reproduction of the medal Sébah won at the 1878
exposition universelle.
The album is bound in brown pebbled leather with a large rectangle of the leather cut out
of the front cover which suggests that a title, name, or other device has been removed. Four
silver-colored metal bosses act as feet on the back cover, and the album's spine is lacking.
The album closes with a crude brass-colored hinge on the fore edge. The edges of the album
leaves gilt.
Most of the card photographs are annotated on the verso in French with the sitter's
occupation, ethicity, or religion and a negative (?) number. This set of annotations was
likely added by the photographer's studio. Annotations in Italian, possibly added by the
album's owner, appear on the album mounts below a number of the photographs. The titles of
the individual photographs are from these nineteenth-century annotations as indicated, with
preference given to the studio's annotations on the card versos. Consequently, some of the
nineteenth-century titles include terms which readers may find to be racist, biased,
perjorative, or offensive.
