EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases the Main Turkish Cemetery of Eyub in Istanbul, Turkey. Taken between 1858 and 1899 by Abdullah Freres, an Armenian photographer active during the late 19th century, this albumen silver print captures a poignant moment frozen in time. The image transports us to this sacred burial ground, where rows upon rows of tombstones stand as silent witnesses to history. The atmosphere is serene yet melancholic, with sunlight filtering through ancient trees and casting long shadows on the weathered gravestones. Abdullah Freres' keen eye for composition is evident in every detail captured within this photograph. The intricate carvings on each tombstone are beautifully rendered, showcasing both Ottoman and Armenian influences. This delicate fusion of cultures reflects the rich tapestry that makes up Istanbul's diverse heritage. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of artistry, we can't help but ponder about the lives once lived by those laid to rest here. Each grave tells a story - stories of love and loss, triumphs and tragedies that have shaped generations past. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity and how even in death, cultural boundaries blur. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the beauty found amidst sorrow.
