Shots of Empire By Philip Mansel ....... In the autumn of 1839, only a few months after the first public demonstration of the new art form in Paris, French photographers gave Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha a private view in Alexandria. Within a short while, professional photographers had established studios in Cairo and Constantinople, and the Ottoman Sultans and Caliphs of all the Muslims were employing their own court photographers, just like their fellow-monarchs in Western Europe. Bahattin Öztuncay's new book, Vassilaki Kargopoulo: Photographer to His Majesty the Sultan, is devoted to one such photographer, an Ottoman Greek who opened a studio in Beyoglu, near the Russian embassy, in 1850. Many Greeks were employed in the service of Sultan Abdülhamid II: for example, his doctor, Spiridion Mavroyennis, and his foreign minister, Alexander Karatheodory. In 1879 Vassilaki (or Basile) Kargopoulo was appointed Photographe de SA Majesté Impériale le Sultan, with the right to display the Sultan's tugra, or monogram, on his business card. Over the next few years he created a unique visual record of the Ottoman Empire in its last years of glory. His subjects included Gazi Osman Pasha, defender of Plevna against the Russians in 1877; princes (including the future sultans Mehmed V and VI, as beardless young men); princesses; mevlevi and Bektashi sheikhs; the Bulgarian Exarch and the Orthodox Patriarch; street sellers; palace interiors and views of the Bosphorus, including what would appear to be the entire Ottoman fleet, moored off Büyükdere. Unlike his predecessors and sucessors, however, Abdülhamid II, for reasons best known to himself, was not photographed. He may have considered it inappropriate for the Caliph. When Kargopoulo died of a heart attack, two months after receiving a gold medal for fine arts on January 29, 1886, ...... ... It will delight all those who feel the wistful charm of the Ottoman Empire in the age of the fez and the stambouline.

Vassilaki Kargopoulo's name is well known, but his career has always been somewhat of a mystery. This book, the product of many years of diligent investigative work, will be welcomed by members of the photo-history community everywhere and, beyond that, by a wider public interested in the cultural history of the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire. It is profusely illustrated with reproductions of daguerreotypes, cartes-de-visite, cabinet cards, and larger photographs (including many landscapes), amply demonstrating that Kargopoulo, Court Photographer to the Sultan, was an outstanding practitioner of his art and craft. The pictures, beatifully reproduced, are informatively amnotated wherever possible, making the book much more than a record of the photographer's work: it is indeed a significant document of its time (1850-1886), and a major contribution to the photo-historical literature, as well as a monument to the author's distinguished research.
