Title: At a Crossroads between Two Worlds, The Ottoman Empire of Sultan Abdulhamid II
Description: This is a collection that features works from the Abdul-Hamid II Collection of Books and Serials Gifted to the Library of Congress that seeks to show how the Ottoman Empire existed in two worlds, and how it wanted to be seen in both of those worlds. This collection was a result of the Ottoman Sultan gifting a set of books to US Representative Abram Stevens Hewitt, who then recommended they be given to the Library of Congress instead.
