| Description: | This article traces some of the uses of photography on the Ottoman fronts during the Great War. It explores images by native photographers from the empire’s various national communities and by European photographers at the front. It highlights three different types of photography: studio portrait images of soldiers and of social life at the time - a neglected theme of particular importance to social historians of war; the work of official, press, and resident photographers, often hired by the Ottoman armies to document notable events (e.g. visits of dignitaries); and, on the British side of the Egyptian-Palestinian front, images taken by soldier-photographers that documented war preparations and the activities of the officers. |
