EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Summer Retreat in the Princes' Islands of Istanbul: Buyukada, Circa 1910s" 2.. Buyukada, the largest of the nine Princes' Islands nestled in the Marmara Sea off the coast of Istanbul, Turkey, has been a popular summer retreat for the wealthy and elite since the Byzantine era. In this evocative photograph from the early 1900s, we are transported back in time to an era of tranquility and relaxation. Once a place of exile for Byzantine Empresses, Buyukada's allure extended far beyond the imperial court. The island's pristine beaches, lush greenery, and serene atmosphere drew the attention of the wealthy inhabitants of Constantinople (now Istanbul) seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The image captures the picturesque scene of a horse-drawn carriage making its way along the winding, cobblestone streets, surrounded by the vibrant colors of the island's charming houses and gardens. The gentle sway of the trees in the breeze and the clear blue waters of the sea add to the idyllic setting. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear the sound of children playing, the laughter of locals, and the gentle clop-clop of horse hooves on the cobblestones. The Princes' Islands of Istanbul, and specifically Buyukada, continue to be a cherished destination for those seeking a peaceful escape from the modern world. This photograph, with its timeless beauty and rich history, invites us to imagine the stories and memories that have unfolded on this magical island over the centuries.
