The photographic firm of Sébah & Joaillier operated in Constantinople from ca. 1860 to 1899 during the most intense phase of Ottoman economic and sociopolitical transformations that had begun with the Tamizat reforms of 1839. The reforms were aimed at regularization and modernization along Western lines.
