Scaffolding surrounds the building in this view, so the photograph seems to catch the school during construction, which sets it apart from others on this board. The subject is an imperial military middle school in Bursa, a city that served as an early Ottoman capital before the court moved to Istanbul. The print comes from an album of imperial schools held in the collection of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, who reigned from 1876 to 1909 and expanded state schooling, including military training. Its Ottoman Turkish and French captions show how carefully the empire documented that effort.
