    Interesting... a NY Times article from 1902 says that Fuad Pacha was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for sedition. NY Times
  • CHRISTINA said:
    That was an interesting article. You would have never guessed buy looking at all his accomplishments so neatly displayed.

    There seem to have been several people with the name Fuad Pasha or Fuad Pacha. [These transliterations appear to be interchangeable.] And it's hard to figure out which might be the same and which this might be. The NYT article cited above suggests that that Fuad Pacha was imprisoned for collaborating with the Young Turks. If so, he might have been free and active again by the period of the Bain collection, since Abdul Hamid II was deposed in 1909. Could this possibly be the same as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuad_Pacha ? From Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuad_Pasha , Fuad Pasha (1815 – 1869) was a Turkish statesman known for his leadership during the Crimean War and in the Westernization movement within the Ottoman Empire. He gets lots of hits in the NYT, and has a name authority record at LoC as Mehmed Fuad Pasa but this photo seems unlikely to be him. books.google.com/books?id=t_uhI1J7AIgC&pg=PA153 identifies two Fuad Pashas, one a governor of Hijaz in 1909, and the other a "Tanzimat statesman." Dates in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzimat suggest it would be Fuad Pasha (1815–1869) who was the Tanzimat statesman. Perhaps this photo is of the other. Yet another Fuad Pasha (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuad_I_of_Egypt) became Sultan of Egypt and Syria in 1917 and King of Egypt in 1922. He was born in 1868 and died in 1936. The only mentions of "Fuad Pasha" in the NYT in the 1910-1915 period identify a Field-Marshal Fuad Pasha, leading Turkish forces in 1912. There are no hits for "Fuad Pacha" in that period.

Stamboul, Turkey (LOC)

    Hi, this photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!
  • Hatice Tekbas said:
    Such a suprise to me. There had been so many ships and boats. Haliç was barely seen. Interesting!
  • Five Impulse said:
    On the left there is a capital hand writing: STAMBOUL, then commonly used for İstanbul. On the bottom left is a writing, first what seems to be initials H.H.(?) and 'Vue panoramique Constantinople (?)' Can anyone make out the last word?
  • Futuristic Iron said:
    I can't quite make out the middle part of white on white. But I think it definitely ends in "de Galata." This might refer to the View of Constantinople taken from the Galata Tower or a View of Constantinople including the lower parts of Galata in the foreground. I'm not sure. Although, if it's from Galata Tower, we should be able to see the Ottoman Bank (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/service/pnp/cph/3g10000/3g11000/3g11600/3g11646v.jpg).

    The neighborhood is so delightfully cluttered that it's hard to pick out any individual buildings. Try to pick out the bank building in this photo for example: www.flickr.com/photos/zoutedrop/2886498879/in/photostream/ I'm pretty sure this was taken from Galata Tower. The mosque on the skyline at left is almost certainly the Hagia Sophia and the one to its right is probably the Blue Mosque, as it's in the right place and has the right number of minarets.
