Networking a national collection: Freer’s diaries, objects, and photographs
This article presents a network analysis of the actors and places associated with Charles Lang Freer’s collecting of Egyptian, ancient Near Eastern and Islamic art between 1907 and 1909, and highlights key developments in the formation of the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art.

An Ottoman Portrait
This carefully composed portrait of a high-ranking Ottoman bureaucrat is striking for several reasons. First, at nearly 16 by 13 inches, it is at least four times larger than most portraits of this period and lacks the ornamental cardboard frame into which portraits were commonly placed, instead being pasted directly onto a cardboard support. Second, although there is a long tradition of documenting men at work or places of business in the photog…

The collection seeks to begin the task of reconstructing the history of (Muslim) women's experience in the middle centuries of the Ottoman era, between the mid-seventeenth century and the early nineteenth, prior to hegemonic European involvement in the region and prior to the "modernizing reforms' i…
Lady Brassey's Canadian visit, 1872
The photographs purchased or taken by British tourists tell us a great deal about how Canada was perceived and remembered by visitors in the second half of the nineteenth century. Two visitors to Canada whose trip is well documented by commercial and family photographs are Thomas and Annie Brassey, who, along with their children, visited eastern Canada in 1872. The Brasseys travelled widely, pardy for Annie Brassey's health, but also because Thom…
Costume in the Middle East
Clothing constitutes a cultural statement. It is a manifestation of culture, no less than art, architecture, literature, and music. Like all cultural phenomena, it communicates a great deal of information both on the physical and symbolic level about the society in which it is found. Fashions, or modes of dress, reflect not only the æsthetics of a particular society (what might be called the “adornment factor”), but also its social mores and valu…
London, Paris, Istanbul, and Cairo: Fashion And International Trade in the Nineteenth Century
This paper is an examination of the relationship between the Anglo-Turkish Convention of 1838 and the transformation in Ottoman women's dress which took place during the nineteenth century. Until now, there has been a tendency to assume a direct cause-and-effect relationship between the Anglo-Turkish Convention and other economic treaties of the period, and fashion. The argument has been that the substantial increase in the volume of imported tex…
