EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tower Galata Constantinople Abdullah Freres" takes us back in time to the bustling city of Istanbul, Turkey, during the late 19th century. The image showcases the iconic Tower of Galata, a prominent landmark that has stood tall for centuries. Captured by Abdullah Freres, an Armenian photographer active in the 1860s and 1890s, this albumen silver print exudes a sense of history and grandeur. The composition beautifully frames the tower against a clear sky, emphasizing its architectural beauty and intricate details. The Tower of Galata holds great significance as it served various purposes throughout history - from being a watchtower during Byzantine times to functioning as a prison and fire lookout post later on. Its presence in this photograph symbolizes both continuity and change within Istanbul's ever-evolving landscape. Abdullah Freres' expertise is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of light. This print transports us back to an era when horse-drawn carriages roamed the streets below while people went about their daily lives amidst towering structures like this one. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography can preserve moments frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity across generations.
