Le Stamboul was a French language newspaper published from Constantinople, the entirety of which is now known as Istanbul, in the Ottoman Empire and then in Turkey from 1875 to 1962.
[2][3] As of the beginning of the 20th century it was estimated to have a daily circulation of around 5,000.
[2] The founders of the paper were Irish brothers, John Laffan Hanly and Baron Henry Laffan Hanly.
[1] Pierre Le Goff was one of the editors-in-chief of the paper[4] which was published six days per week.
[1] The name "Stamboul", the rendering of "Istanbul" used in French, referred to the portion of the city in the old city walls and not the entire city; the name "Istanbul" became used for the entire city in Turkish post-1923,[5] and the new Republican Turkish government requested foreign embassies and companies switch to Istanbul in 1930.
