EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by James Robertson in 1856 transports us back to the bustling city of Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople. The image showcases the base of the Obelisk of Theodosius I, an ancient Egyptian obelisk that was erected in the Hippodrome during the reign of Roman Emperor Theodosius in the 4th century A. D. The composition captures a snapshot of daily life in this vibrant metropolis. In the foreground, we see a group of individuals - a man, a woman, and a young boy - standing near the impressive obelisk's base. Their attire reflects their Ottoman heritage, with traditional Muslim clothing adorning both men and women. The intricate frieze on the obelisk's surface is beautifully captured by Robertson's lens. It depicts various scenes from mythology and history, offering glimpses into ancient civilizations long gone but still revered. As we gaze at this historical artifact frozen in time through photography, we are reminded of Istanbul's rich cultural heritage shaped by centuries under different empires. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to preserve these precious moments for future generations. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their Carousel Collection—a treasure trove for art enthusiasts seeking unique glimpses into humanity's past.
