EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Mostar Bridge, also known as the Old Bridge or Stari Most, in all its historical glory. Taken from a postcard dating back to the early 1900s, this image transports us to a time when Mostar was an enchanting city situated on the banks of the Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Old Bridge, named after the medieval bridge keepers called "mostari" was constructed by the Ottomans during the 16th century. It stands as a remarkable example of a single-arch stone bridge and is renowned for its stunning Islamic architecture. However, it endured significant damage during the Bosnian War but has since been meticulously reconstructed. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of Yugoslavia's rich history and cultural heritage. The bridge symbolizes unity and connection between different communities that once thrived within these lands. Its presence evokes nostalgia for an era characterized by peace and harmony. The image captures not only architectural brilliance but also serves as a testament to human resilience and determination to preserve our shared past. It invites us to reflect upon how conflicts can disrupt lives but also inspire restoration efforts that heal wounds inflicted upon both structures and societies. Bridgeman Images presents this extraordinary piece from their collection without any commercial intent; rather, they aim to celebrate artistry through photography while respecting copyright guidelines. In conclusion, this print encapsulates more than just a picturesque scene; it encapsulates history itself—a visual reminder of times gone by yet still cherished today.
