EDITORS COMMENTS
This color photograph captures the picturesque Pointe Du Serail, a stunning port in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey. Taken by an anonymous European photographer during the 19th century, this print showcases the bustling maritime activity of ships and boats against a backdrop of breathtaking views. The image transports us back to a time when this vibrant city was at the crossroads between Europe and the Middle East, serving as a vital hub for trade and cultural exchange. The Turkish influence is evident in the traditional boats dotting the waters, while European elements can be seen in some of the larger vessels. Pointe Du Serail itself stands proudly on Sarayburnu, offering panoramic vistas that encompass both land and sea. It serves as a testament to Istanbul's rich history and its significance as an important center for transportation and commerce. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of how photography has allowed us to capture moments frozen in time. This particular print comes from a private collection but was originally featured as an illustration for "Souvenir De Constantinople" around 1910. With its vivid colors and exquisite composition, this print by Bridgeman Images truly encapsulates not only Turkish culture but also highlights how transport played a crucial role in shaping both European and Middle Eastern societies during that era.
