"Capturing the Essence of a Bygone Era: The Artistry of Sebah" Step into the world of yesteryears through the lens of Sebah, an artist whose photographs beautifully depict various facets of life in Turkey, Egypt, and North Africa. In 1912, this Turkish pedlar's portrait by Sebah transports us to a time when bustling marketplaces were filled with vibrant colors and lively conversations. Meanwhile, another photograph from the 1890s showcases a sheep market in Egypt, where JP Sebah skillfully captures the essence of daily life. Moving further back in time to c. 1890 North Africa Egypt, we encounter a striking image of a Bedouin man taken by JP Sebah. His piercing gaze reflects both strength and resilience against the backdrop of his nomadic lifestyle. Sebah's collaboration with Joaillier studio brings us to Turkey's waterfront factory—a testament to their shared passion for capturing industrial progress amidst picturesque landscapes. Pascal Sebah takes us on an architectural journey with his photograph titled "Palais de Gezyret. " This stunning pavilion exterior from the 1870s showcases intricate details that transport viewers back to an era defined by opulence and grandeur. The artistry extends beyond portraits as well; Paul Sebah expertly immortalizes Albert Whitehead through photography—an intimate glimpse into one individual's story frozen in time. Venturing further eastward, we find ourselves face-to-face with Montenegrin locals captured by none other than Sebah himself in 1912. These portraits offer glimpses into their unique culture and traditions that have stood strong throughout history. Egyptian landmarks also grace these collections—Kom Ombo temple photographed by Pascal Sebah allows us to marvel at its ancient beauty while P. Sebah invites us inside Karnak Temple's Hypostyle hall—a place where spirituality meets artistic brilliance. Not limited to people or places alone, Sebah's lens also captures the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern dress.
