Original late 19th-century albumen studio portrait by Sebah & Joaillier, one of the most prestigious photographic studios operating in Κωνσταντινούπολη (Constantinople).
The photograph is mounted on its original studio card, bearing the elaborate Sebah & Joaillier imprint with the address 439 Grand’ Rue de Péra.
The verso proudly displays the titles:
-
“Fournisseurs de la Cour de Prusse”
-
“Photographes de la Cour Royale de Prusse”
These designations indicate official royal appointment and international recognition granted to the studio by the Βασίλειο της Πρωσίας, reflecting the high status and quality associated with Sebah & Joaillier’s work during the late Ottoman period.
The portrait depicts a well-dressed woman in refined late-Victorian attire, typical of upper-class studio portraiture of the 1890s, with controlled lighting and formal pose.
This is an original period albumen print, not a later reproduction or postcard.
Dimensions: approx. 11 × 17 cm
