Description

Ibrahim Âlaaddin [Gövsa].

Istanbul: Sebat Matbaası – Resimli Gazete 1927.

An ephemeral biography of Friedrick the Great (1712-1786) in Ottoman language was issued in the series Büyük Adamlar Serisi (Series of Important Men) with Ottoman lettering in the last year before the Atatürk’s reformation of the script in the Republic of Turkey. The illustrated biography depicts the ruler’s eccentricities and his love for Italian Greyhounds.

Worldcat lists a single example of the pamphlet, held at the Orient Institut Istanbul (OCLC 1030896257, but mentions Akşam Maṭbaʻası as a printer). The series Büyük Adamlar Serisi is available as eBooks under OCLC 987786255.
