EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1890, offers a breathtaking view of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, Turkey. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the city's rich history and beauty as it was over a century ago. Constantinople, the "City of Three Emperors," was a melting pot of cultures and religions, a fact evident in this photograph. The Bosphorus Strait, the natural harbor that separates Europe and Asia, is the focal point of the image, with its shimmering waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the city's buildings and the boats that dot the water. The European side of the city, with its grandiose architecture, is visible in the background. The Galata Tower, a historic landmark, can be seen on the right, while the imposing silhouette of the Dolmabahçe Palace, the former residence of the Ottoman sultans, dominates the left side of the image. The Asian side of Istanbul, with its bustling markets and colorful houses, can be seen in the foreground. The image also reveals the city's diverse population, with people of various ethnicities and religions going about their daily lives. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. It invites us to explore its labyrinthine streets, taste its delicious cuisine, and immerse ourselves in its unique blend of history, culture, and tradition.
