Named Asireti in the album caption, this Arabian horse was photographed in Constantinople by Abdullah Frères, a studio known for its portraits of the Ottoman court. The print comes from an album of horses at the Imperial Stud Farm near Istanbul, with captions in Ottoman Turkish and French that reflect the court's wide European contact. The album belongs to the Abdul-Hamid II Collection, assembled during a reign that ran from 1876 to 1909, and the print is dated between 1880 and 1893.
