Malumat – “Said Pasha and Members of the Council of State’s Civil Affairs Department” – Issue No. 68 – February 4, 1897 (23 Kânunusani 1312) – Ottoman Turkish Edition

Description:

Ma'lûmât was an important Ottoman weekly scholarly, scientific, and literary periodical published in Istanbul during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II, from May 23, 1895, to August 20, 1903. One of the longest-running cultural publications of the period, the magazine aimed to inform its readers about a wide range of subjects, including literature, science, industry, commerce, and social life. Its contents covered current developments across the Ottoman Empire and the wider world, scientific and technological advances, history, geography, philosophy, and medicine, alongside poetry, short stories, and literary criticism. The magazine also reflected the growing interest in a more accessible and modern style of Turkish writing.

The cover of this sixty-eighth issue features a portrait of His Excellency Said Pasha, President of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ottoman Council of State (Şûrâ-yı Devlet). Inside, the issue presents several further portraits of senior officials from the same department, including Şükrü Bey, Kopasi Efendi, and Ohannes Efendi Sakızlı, an Armenian-origin Ottoman government official. Another notable portrait is that of Count Edmond Sertçelebi Pasha, introduced as Commander of the General Fire Brigades and a member of the High Military Inspection Commission. He had also served as an aide-de-camp to the Sultan.

The magazine also features a photograph of the Ma'lûmât Printing House on Bab-ı Âli Street in Istanbul, offering an interesting visual record of the publishing world of the period. An illustrated article titled “The Heights of Buildings in New York and London” compares prominent buildings and monumental newspaper headquarters in the two cities, accompanied by two photographs. Other contributions include a portrait of the well-known writer Mehmed Ziver Bey, identified as a member of the clerical staff of the Foreign Ministry's Correspondence Office, and a map of South America.
