EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, dating back to circa 1835, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical layout of Istanbul, then known as Constantinople, during the Ottoman Empire. The map, titled "Plan of Constantinople," was created approximately 150 years before the city would undergo significant modernization. Istanbul, a city rich in history and cultural diversity, is depicted in this map with intricate detail. The Bosphorus Strait, the natural waterway that divides Europe and Asia, is clearly marked, as are the city's major landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace. The map also highlights the city's fortifications, including the famous Walls of Constantinople, which protected the city from external threats for centuries. The map's intricate detail not only showcases the architectural and geographical features of Istanbul but also provides insight into the city's urban planning during the Ottoman era. The various districts, including the European and Asian sides, are clearly labeled, and the streets are neatly laid out, reflecting the city's organized layout. The map's antique charm transports us back in time, allowing us to visualize Istanbul as it was over 180 years ago. It serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and its role as a cultural melting pot, long before the modern world began to encroach upon its ancient walls. This map print is an essential addition to any collection of historical maps or for those with a passion for Istanbul's fascinating history.
