Istanbul.- The Pera Museum is pleased to present “From Constantinople to Istanbul: Photographs of the Anatolian Shore of the Bosphorus from the Mid XIXth Century to the XXth Century” on view at the museum through April 1st. This photography exhibition encompasses works by photography masters who practiced their art in and around Istanbul from the end of the 19th to the early years of the 20th century. Curated by Architect Dr. Sinan Genim, it features a selection from the Suna and Inan Kiraç Foundation Photograph Collection as well as works from private collections, revealing the magnificent structures, the daily life and the intriguing personalities of an Istanbul of the past. Taken by renowned photographers of the period, such as Ali Sami Aközer, Felice Beato, Guillaume Berggren, the Abdullah brothers, the Gulmez brothers, Ernest Edouard de Caranza, Sebah & Joaillier, Maurice Meys, Ali Oza Enis and James Robertson, as well as amateur photography aficionados, who all employed the difficult and challenging techniques of the period, the photographs included in the exhibition not only offer us a glimpse into the physical and socio-cultural structure of the Istanbul of the period, but they also reveal unique beauties of the city, many of which are either transformed or altogether lost today.
