Administrative history
Pascal Sebah was born in Istanbul (Turkey), in 1823. His father was from Syria, and his mother from Armenia. He opened his photographic studio in Istanbul in 1857, and a second one in Cairo (Egypt) in 1873. He died in 1886. The name Sebah & Khachik refers to a photographic studio in Alexandria (after Pascal Sebah’s death, his son Jean probably took over the business and opened a branch in Alexandria, working with Khachik).
