Object description

Jean Pascal Sébah (1872 – 6 juni 1947) var en syrisk-armenisk fotograf. Som son till Pascal Sébah fortsatte han familjen Sébahs fotografiska arv efter faderns död år 1886.

Jean Pascal Sébah var son till Pascal Sébah, som hade öppnat en fotografisk ateljé i Kairo redan i mitten av 1850-talet och ytterligare en ateljé i Konstantinopel från början av 1870-talet. Sébahs ateljé hade etablerat sig som den främsta företrädaren för orientalistisk fotografi i regionen.

Efter faderns död den 25 juni 1886 fortsatte verksamheten. Inledningsvis leddes studion av farbrodern Cosmi (Pascal Sébahs bror), och år 1888 blev Pollicarpe Joaillier delägare. Vid denna tid bytte företaget namn till Sebah & Joaillier. Jean Pascal Sébah anslöt sig också till verksamheten 1888 och kom därefter att driva studion tillsammans med andra fotografer. Företaget utvecklade ett starkt rykte som den ledande representanten för orientalistisk fotografi och utsågs 1889 till hovfotografer åt det preussiska hovet.

År 1893 lät sultan Abdülhamid II framställa femtioett fotografiska album som visade det osmanska rikets geografiska och kulturella omfattning. Två av dessa volymer producerades av Sebah & Joaillier. USA:s president Grover Cleveland var en av mottagarna av albumsamlingen, som i dag förvaras i Library of Congress i USA.

Fotostudion Foto Sabah i Pera, Konstantinopel, var under stora delar av 1800- och 1900-talet stadens mest prestigefyllda fotografiska ateljé. Deras fotografier avbildade bland annat Hagia Sofia, Blå moskén och Galatatornet.

Jean Pascal Sébah avled den 6 juni 1947, vid 75 års ålder.

J. Pascal Sébah.;

Jean Pascal Sébah (1872 – 6 June 1947) was a Syriac-Armenian photographer. The son of Pascal Sébah, he continued the Sébah family's photographic legacy after his father's death in 1886.

Life and career

Jean Pascal Sébah was the son of Pascal Sébah who had opened a photographic studio in Cairo from the mid-1850s and another studio in Constantinople from the early 1870s. The Sébah studio had earned a reputation for the foremost Orientalist photography in the region.

Following his father's death on 25 June 1886, the studio continued in business. Initially it was managed by his uncle, Cosmi (his father's brother), and in 1888 Pollicarpe Joaillier became a partner. At this time the company was renamed Sebah & Joaillier[1] Jean Pascal Sébah, also joined in 1888 and went on to run the studio with other photographers. The firm developed a reputation as the leading representative of Orientalist photography and in 1889 was appointed the Photographers by Appointment to the Prussian Court.

In 1893, Sultan Abdulhamid II sponsored fifty-one photographic albums representing the span of the Ottoman Empire with two of the volumes produced by Sebah & Joaillier. U.S. President Grover Cleveland was one of the recipients of the photo collection and it is now in the Library of Congress in the USA.

The "Foto Sabah" studio in Pera, Constantinople, was the most prestigious photography studio in the city for many decades during the 19th and 20th centuries. Their photographs depicted sites such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Galata Tower.

Sébah died on 6 June 1947, at the age of 75.
