He said photos taken by the leading photographers of the 19th century were delicately brought together for the exhibition, and added, ?This exhibition drew great interest abroad, because they are the first photos taken in the Ottoman era in the beginning of the 1900s. These photos reflect the social life and culture of the era. We have enlarged these photos and created their stories.?
