EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Customs House on the Golden Horn in Istanbul, Turkey. Taken by Abdullah Freres around 1890, this image showcases the architectural beauty of a building that stood as a symbol of trade and commerce during the late 19th century. The Customs House stands tall against the backdrop of bustling city life. Its intricate design and grandeur are evident even in this monochromatic print. The rowboat gently gliding through the calm waters of the harbor adds a touch of serenity to an otherwise vibrant scene. As one's gaze wanders beyond the Customs House, iconic landmarks such as Hagia Sophia come into view, reminding us of Istanbul's rich history and cultural significance. This photograph serves as a time capsule, transporting us back to turn-of-the-century Turkey. Abdullah Freres' skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also provides a glimpse into daily life at that time. It invites contemplation about how customs were conducted within those walls and how goods from distant lands arrived at this bustling port city. This print from Granger Art on Demand is more than just an aesthetically pleasing piece; it holds historical value and offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in Istanbul's past glory.
