From Konstantiniyye to Istanbul
Photographs of the Anatolian Shore of the Bosphorus
from the mid XIXth Century to XX Century
21 January – 1 April 2012
The exhibition is comprised of the works by photography masters who practiced their art in Istanbul from the end of the XIXth to the early years of the XXth century. It is a selection from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Photograph Collection and from private collections, revealing the magnificent structures, the daily life and the intriguing personalities of an Istanbul of the past. Istanbul has evolved into an industrial city and an enormous metropolis: its silhouette, architecture, vehicles, bridges, quays, streets and public spaces have attained an entirely different appearance. Masters such as Ali Sami Aközer, Félice Beato, Guillame Berggren, Abdullah Biraderler, Gülmez Biraderler,Ernest Edouard de Caranza, Sebah&Joaillier, Maurice Meys, Ali Enis Oza, James Robertson and Elisa Pante Zonaro not only document the nostalgic images of the city during their time, but also will be taking us along a pleasant journey through photographs taken with the difficult and onerous techniques of the time.
