In this unfortunate era of selfies when nothing can be immortalised without one&rsquo;s own mug in the mix (a mug that is then immediately uploaded to the world for instant derision or praise), it may be hard to imagine a time when taking a photo was an art that took both skill and patience. A new exhibition entitled <strong>Photography in the Ottoman Empire</strong> explores the post-Daguerreotype world of the late 19th and early 20th centuries as photographed by four commercial artists of the former Ottoman Empire. Discover long-gone markets and bazaars, exotic landscapes and people in peculiar dress that today&rsquo;s Instagrammers and Snapchatters might call &lsquo;seriously vintage&rsquo;.
