EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient city of Smyrna, now known as Izmir, on the Turkish coast in all its glory. Taken around 1880 from the vantage point of the ruined fortress on Mount Pagos, this image offers a breathtaking view of the bustling harbor and majestic mountain backdrop.
The city's rich history is evident in every detail - from the crumbling walls of the fortress to the intricate architecture of Smyrna itself. The landscape is alive with activity, with ships coming and going from the busy port and people going about their daily lives in this vibrant metropolis.
As you gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, you can almost feel the energy and excitement that must have filled these streets over a century ago. It's a reminder of how civilizations rise and fall, leaving behind traces of their existence for us to marvel at centuries later.
This print by Edmond Boissonnas is not just a beautiful piece of art - it's a window into another era, allowing us to connect with our past and appreciate the beauty and complexity of human civilization. So take a moment to immerse yourself in this scene and let your imagination wander through the streets of Smyrna as they once were.
