Description
Born in Constantinople to a Syrian father and Armenian mother, Sébah opened a photography studio there in either the late 1850s or ’60s. This carte de visite, a small, inexpensive photographic format developed in France and meant to be left as a calling card or collected, attests to the rapid and potent global spread of photographic technology, formats, and conventions in the mid-1800s.- BIG: Photographs from the Collection. The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH (organizer) (June 12-October 9, 2016).
