Armenian Photographers in the Ottoman Empire
>From the Collections of The Getty Research Institute
GLENDALE, CA The public is invited on Thursday, February 19, 2015, at 7
pm to a presentation by scholar Julia Grimes of photographs taken by
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the Glendale Central Library
Auditorium, 222 East Harvard Street in Glendale. The discussion will be
in English. Admission will be free. Library visitors receive 3 hours
FREE parking across the street at The Market Place parking structure
with validation at the Loan Desk.
The Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were highly educated and held high
level positions. They were scholars, doctors, chemists, goldsmiths, and
pharmacists, and many possessed the skills necessary for photography, in
particular a thorough knowledge of the chemical processes used in
development. Some of the principal studios in Constantinople, including
J. Pascal S¨¦bah and Abdullah Fr¨¨res, were owned and operated
by photographers of Armenian descent.
Julia Grimes is completing her Ph.D. in Chinese modern and contemporary
art at the University of California, Los Angeles. She has been a
research assistant at the Getty Research Institute since 2010. She will
discuss these studios and their vital importance to the evolution of
photography throughout the Ottoman Empire at the close of the 19th
century.
Hope To See You All!
