EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hypodrome sic Atmeydan sic Stamboul" captures the essence of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, in the year 1853. Taken by James Robertson, an English photographer renowned for his exceptional work in documenting historical sites, this image provides a glimpse into the vibrant atmosphere of the city during that era. The photograph showcases the bustling Hypodrome or Atmeydan square, which was once a central gathering place for chariot races and public events. The composition beautifully portrays the architectural grandeur surrounding the square, with its magnificent structures and intricate details. The viewer is transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within history. Printed on salted paper using traditional techniques of that period, this artwork measures 30.5 × 26.5 cm (12 × 10 7/16 inches). Its remarkable clarity and attention to detail highlight Robertson's mastery behind the lens. As you admire this extraordinary piece from Liszt Collection, it is important to note that commercial use should not be associated with it. Instead, let yourself be captivated by its historical significance and appreciate how it offers us a window into Constantinople's rich past – a testament to both James Robertson's skill as a photographer and Istanbul's enduring allure throughout centuries.
