EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Constantinople Illustrated" takes us back in time to the vibrant city of Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople. The engraving, created by Charles William Wyllie in 1886, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry and architectural wonders that defined this historic city. The image showcases various elements that made Constantinople so enchanting. From the bustling Golden Horn adorned with boats gliding through its waters to the majestic guard house and sentries standing tall, every detail transports us to a different era. We can also spot notable landmarks such as Therapia, the summer residence of British ambassadors, and the German Embassy along Grande Rue de Pera. The Turkish fleet proudly sails on the Bosphorus Strait while locals go about their daily lives on boats used for transportation. This fusion of European and Middle Eastern cultures is evident in both architecture and attire worn by individuals depicted in this illustration. As we delve deeper into this artwork's intricate details, it becomes apparent that it captures not only a moment frozen in time but also reflects the essence of Turkish culture during that period. This remarkable piece serves as a window into history, allowing us to appreciate how transport played an essential role in connecting people across Central Turkey. Bridgeman Images has once again preserved an extraordinary piece of artistry through this print from their Fine Art Finder collection.
