In celebration of Cornucopia's 30th year we would like to pull out a selection of beautiful spreads and graphics by our art director Clive Crook.
Above is the Yeşil Mosque with it's 'Turkish triangles', a hallmark of 15th century mosque architecture taken from The Big Issue on Bursa, number 38, 2007. Photograph by Jürgen Frank.
This stunning shot is of three men rowing is by Cafer Turkmen from the article Beyond the Euphrates. Cornucopia dedicated 30 pages to this expedition to the southeast and photo essay done in 1952, before tourism in Turkey. Issue 30, 2003. 'Travelling by train, truck, Jeep and mule, Turkmen discovered a place of dramatic beauty and a way of life barely changed for thousands of years.'
Another pair of images beautifully juxtaposed by Clive Crook.
'The artist of A Lady Drinking Coffee (right) is unknown, but the source of this Orientalist icon, a version of which was owned by Madame de Pompadour, would have been instantly familiar to 18th century French society. It was a widely published engraving by the Flemish Jean Baptiste G Vanmour, one of the few artists to have witnessed life at the Ottoman court at first hand.' Issue 33, 2005
