EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to 1855 Constantinople, Turkey. The image showcases the magnificent Fountain of Sultan Selim, standing proudly near St. Sophia. Attributed to Felice Beato and possibly captured by James Robertson, this salted paper print captures the essence of a bygone era. The composition is strikingly beautiful; it highlights the intricate details and grandeur of both the fountain and its surroundings. The viewer's gaze is drawn towards the ornate architecture of St. Sophia in the background, while simultaneously being captivated by the splendor of Sultan Selim's fountain in the foreground. The craftsmanship evident in this piece is remarkable - every line, curve, and texture has been meticulously preserved through time. It serves as a testament to both Beato's skill behind the lens and Robertson's expertise in capturing historical landmarks. As we admire this print, we are transported to a bustling Constantinople filled with rich history and cultural significance. We can almost imagine ourselves strolling through its streets, marveling at architectural wonders like these. This print not only offers an aesthetic delight but also serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time over 150 years ago. It reminds us of our shared human heritage and invites contemplation on how cities evolve while preserving their iconic landmarks for generations to come.
