EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the bustling cityscape of Constantinople, the heart of the Ottoman Empire in the late 19th century. The focal point is the magnificent Galata Bridge, elegantly stretching across the Bosphorus River. Taken by Abdullah freres in approximately 1890, this sepia-toned photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The Galata Bridge stands as a testament to architectural brilliance and engineering prowess. Its grandeur is accentuated by an array of wagons and pedestrians traversing its length, forming a vibrant crowd that adds life to this historic scene. The bridge not only serves as a vital transportation link but also acts as a social hub where people from all walks of life converge. As we gaze upon this turn-of-the-century masterpiece frozen in time, we are transported back to an age when Constantinople was at its zenith - an enchanting blend of tradition and progress. The river beneath reflects sunlight like liquid gold, mirroring the splendor above. Abdullah freres skillfully captured every detail with precision and artistry; their lens immortalizing an iconic landmark against Istanbul's ever-changing skyline. This remarkable print evokes nostalgia for those who yearn for days gone by while offering new generations an opportunity to appreciate history through visual storytelling.
