EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty and rich history of Istanbul, Turkey's enchanting metropolis, specifically the Yessiada (Island of the Plate) located on the Bosphorus Strait. Dating back to circa 1922, this image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique charm of Istanbul during the early 20th century. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, has been a melting pot of cultures for centuries, serving as the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman Empires. This historical significance is reflected in the architectural wonders that can be found throughout the city. Yessiada, or the Island of the Plate, is a small, picturesque island situated on the European side of the Bosphorus Strait. Its name derives from the Ottoman Turkish word 'yes' meaning 'plate,' referring to the flat, rocky terrain that covers the island. In the photograph, the island's rugged shoreline is dotted with quaint wooden houses and charming gardens, providing a serene contrast to the bustling cityscape of Istanbul. The photograph was taken by Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German-Jewish photographer who traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and the Balkans, documenting the people and landscapes of the region. His work, including this image of Yessiada, offers a valuable historical record of a bygone era, preserving the essence of Istanbul's unique character for future generations to appreciate. As you gaze upon this image, allow yourself to be transported back in time, to a place where history, culture, and natural beauty converge in a breathtaking display. The Yessiada (Island of the Plate) stands as a testament to Istanbul's enduring allure and the rich tapestry of history that unfolds within its borders.
