Koç Collection. Foreword: Bahattin Öztuncay. "Handwritten letters of historically significant personalities have always been highly sought-after collector's items. This passion, which originates in Ancient Greek and Roman periods has gained wide appeal in the 16th century, and continues to our age. In addition to their status as historical documents due to their subject matters, handwritten letters also establish an emotional connection with these eminent personalities. This book features assiduously selected samples from the Ömer M. Koç Collection. These letters dated between 1795 and 1922 are presented in chronological order, and were written in Latin script by a number of prominent and colourful figures including Grand Vizier Mustafa Ressid Pasha, Abdülhamid Efendi - then still a prince, Queen Victoria, Lord Kitchener. While these priceless documents contain some personal feelings and thoughts, for the most part they shed light on the political and cultural relations the Ottoman Empire developed with the Occident. We believe that this publication will greatly benefit our cultural and artistic memory as well as our history and diplomacy. We owe a dept of gratitude to Sinan Kuneralp for his painstaking research, transcription and editing, to Yesim Demir Pöhl for her book design, to Hadiye Cangökçe for her photography, and to the management team of Aygaz A.S. who have greatly contributed to make our project a reality".
