Guillaum (Pehr Vilhelm) Berggren was a Swedish photographer who opened a studio in Constantinople in the late 1860s. "Berggren was quite a typical photographer of his time, taking many standard tourist views but also displaying good panoramas and photographing local types in the studio and on the street. He took some photographs in other countries but most of his work was in Turkey, including a number of views of Anatolia. In his advertisements, he boasted of being photographer to the Kings of Sweden and Norway. In 1895, he transferred his portrait business to former assistant, David Joseph, but continued to sell and publish views. In 1900, he had a shop at 9 Asmali Medjid which specialized in the sale of Turkish views. Berggren studio was still open in the early 20th century, but in 1916 he sold part of his archive to the German Embassy in Istanbul" (Jacobson, K. Odalisques & Arabesques: Orientalist Photography, 1839-1925. Quaritch, 2007, p. 215). "Abdullah Frères, three Ottoman Armenian brothers Vichen (1820-1902), Hovsep (1830-1908) and Kevork Abdullah (1839-1918) who ran a profitable studio in Constantinople with other locations in Cairo and Izmir. In 1862 the three brothers were named official royal photographers to the courts of the Sultans Abdul Aziz and Abdul Hamid II, and had the right to use the royal monogram. While official royal photographers to the Sultans they were commissioned to document the Ottoman Empire in photographs. The work appears to have been conceived by the sultan as a portrait of his empire for the 1893 World Columbian Exposition but was not exhibited there. It dwells on the accomplishments and westernizing improvements of the regime, such as the well drilled and equipped military, the technologically advanced lifesaving and fire fighting brigades, customs bureaucracy, and life at the lavish Imperial court." ( Lusadaran: Armenian Photography Foundation ). "Constantinople-based photographic studio Sebah & Joaillier formed from a partnership between Joannes (Jean) Pascal Sebah and Policarpe Joaillier which dates only from 1890, but from its establishment, took over the marketing of the catalogue of fine images produced in Turkey.
