EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, taken from the seminal work "Historia de Turquia" by Jouannin and Van Gaver, published in 1840, offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of the Ottoman Empire in Asia Minor, specifically the view of Gallipoli, or Gelibolu as it is known in Turkey. The image, produced by the skilled hands of Lemaitre, Danvin, and Cholet, transports us back in time to an era of rich history and cultural diversity. The scene unfolds before us with a panoramic view of the Anatolian Peninsula's stunning coastline, where the azure waters meet the verdant land. Gallipoli, a city of great historical significance, is depicted with its iconic minarets reaching towards the heavens, a testament to the strong Islamic faith that permeated the Ottoman Empire. A bustling city scene unfolds in the foreground, with people of all ages and genders going about their daily lives. Women, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen walking along the cobblestone streets, while men engage in various activities, from tending to their gardens to engaging in animated conversations. The city's architectural beauty is further accentuated by the presence of a grand fountain, a source of life-giving water in the heart of the community. The tree-lined streets add to the idyllic setting, providing shade and a sense of tranquility. This engraving is a visual feast for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Ottoman Empire, offering a glimpse into a time when Gallipoli was a thriving city, a symbol of the rich tapestry of life that existed in the region.
