| dc.description.abstract | After its first appearance in the late 1830s in France photography and the profession of picture taking spread quickly to reach the capital of the Ottoman Empire in the mid 1860s. The first photography shop was in inaugurated in Istanbul by the Armenian Abdullah brothers. Their grandfather Asdvadzadur Hurmuzian was a provisionary at the imperial court of Sultan Abdul Hamad. Due to pressure from the court staff, Asdvadzadur converted his name to its Turkish equivalent and was renamed Abdullah. By the late 1860s. The Abdullah brothers renowned in the empire due to their extensive investments and the souvenir photos they took of historic sites in the Ottoman capital. Becoming the imperial photographers of the Sultan brought them further fame at a time when the Armenian question became a part of the Eastern question. Eventually a wide spectrum of European figures and newspaper correspondence who visited Istanbul had to have their pictures taken by the Abdullahs. The later grasped this opportunity to raise and echo the concerns and aspirations of their co-nationals, the western Armenians who suffered from inequalities, persecution, and insecure life and dispossessions. Kirakosyan puts into circulation seven unpublished letters of Kevork Abdullah addressed to father Hovhannes Megerian, a high functionary of the Armenian Patriarchate of Constantinople. In these letters Kevork asks father Megerian to join him in various appointments he took to raise Armenian concerns. | |
