EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical plan depicting the Strait of Constantinople, now known as the Strait of Bosphorus (Bosporos). The artwork originates from the renowned "Voyage de levant made by the command of the king in the year 1621" edited in 1629 during Louis XIII Le Juste's reign. Created by an unknown artist from the 17th century, this engraving is currently housed in Cairo's Jesuit Library. The intricate details and precision of this geographical map offer a glimpse into maritime trade routes and naval activities during that era. It serves as a testament to Asia's significant role in commerce and highlights Turkey's strategic position at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. With its rich history, Constantinople (now Istanbul) was once a bustling hub for trade and cultural exchange. This plan captures its importance as it depicts not only the strait but also canals that were crucial for transportation within this vibrant city. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this remarkable piece, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to witness an essential chapter in Asian history unfold before our eyes.
