Summary:"Discusses the history of the city, from the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans in 1453 up to the beginning of the 20th century when the Ottoman Empire was finally dismantled following the First World War. This historical background appears alongside descriptions and illustrations of Ottoman architecture, regalia, textiles, books, ceramics, calligraphy and paintings. Throughout, Yeomans presents the exhilarating alternative of Ottoman art, with its meaning expressed principally through non-figurative form rather than through the symbol systems and narrative of Western art."--Cover p. [4].
