dc:description Abdul-Hamid II (1842-1918), an avid collector and promoter of photography, appears to have conceived this collection as a portrait of his empire for a western audience. He presented a copy of the survey to the Library of Congress in 1893 or 1894. He also gave another almost identical collection to the British Museum (now in the British Library).
dc:description Albums include four major subject categories: Category I: views, buildings, monuments and antiquities (LOTS 9515, 9516, 9517, 9518, 9523, 9524, 9528, 9529, 9532, 9533, 9534, 9535, 9541, 11907, 11910, 11912, 11913); Category II: military, naval, rescue services and military and industrial facilities (LOTS 9521, 9522, 9536, 9537, 9539, 9540, 9543, 9545, 11905, 11906, 11909, 11911, 11914, 11915, 11917, 11918, 11919); Category III: educational facilities (LOTS 9511, 9512, 9513, 9514, 9519, 9520, 9525, 9526, 9527, 9530, 9531, 9538, 9542, 9544, 11908); and Category IV: horses and imperial stables (LOTS 9546, 11916)

dc:description These photographic albums portray the Ottoman Empire during the reign of one of its last sultans, Abdul-Hamid II. They highlight the modernization of numerous aspects of the Ottoman Empire. Most of the places depicted are within the boundaries of modern-day Turkey, but buildings and sites in Iraq, Lebanon, Greece and other countries are also included. The images show students and educational facilities, including law, medical and military schools; well-equipped army and navy personnel and facilities; technologically advanced lifesaving and fire fighting brigades; factories; mines; harbors; hospitals; and government buildings. The collection also documents historic Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, mosques, mosaics, fountains, palaces, and mausoleums, and includes panoramic landscapes and urban scenes. Other photographs depict Abdul Hamid's Yildiz Palace, yacht, and horses.
dc:description Well-known Ottoman commercial photographers such as Abdullah Frères, Sebah & Joaillier, and Phèbus took the bulk of the photographs. Turkish military photographer Ali Rıza Pasa and the Photographic Unit of the Imperial School of Engineering also contributed numerous images.
