Rare glimpses of Ottoman delights: from the naively painted village mosques of Denizli to the gilded splendours of the sultans’ chambers in the Harem of the Topkapı. Maureen Freely laments the loss of the Village Institutes, which shaped a generation of Turkish idealists. Henk Boom charts the turbulent times of Baron van Dedem, Dutch ambassador to Constantinople from 1785 to 1810. Mark Waelkens, who uncovered the giant statue of Emperor Hadrian at Sagalassos, talks about his momentous finds. Robert Ousterhout leafs through Gertrude Bell’s Istanbul diaries, and John Carswell remembers Honor Frost, doyenne of underwater archaeology. Paul Veysseyre’s moody photographs recapture the Istanbul of the Seventies, while Berrin Torolsan finds delicious ways of cooking with grapes.
