From the Suna and Inan Kirac Old Photographs of Istanbul Collection, this book catalogues the works of masters who practiced the art of photography in Istanbul from the end of the 19th until the early years of the 20th century. While these photographs convey the physical and socio-cultural structure of the Ottoman capital during that time, they also provide the opportunity to recall incomparable features of the city, many of which have been transformed or lost.
