EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting city of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, through the lens of James Robertson, an English photographer. Taken between 1855 and 1856 in Turkey, this salted paper print measures approximately 26 × 29 cm (10 1/4 × 11 7/16 inches), showcasing the intricate details and rich textures of the scene. In this image, Robertson skillfully portrays the bustling streets of Constantinople during a time when it was a thriving hub of culture and trade. The composition transports us to a bygone era with its architectural marvels and vibrant atmosphere. The viewer is immersed in a world where East meets West - minarets reaching towards the sky alongside European-style buildings. The delicate tones captured on this salted paper print evoke a sense of nostalgia for a city that has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. It serves as both a visual record and an artistic interpretation of Constantinople's unique charm. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded not only of James Robertson's talent but also how photography can preserve moments in time for future generations to appreciate. This photograph invites us to explore the beauty and complexity that lies within one snapshot - capturing both cultural heritage and human stories frozen forever in silver halides.
