Anadolu Bosphorus Bosporus Constantinople Rumeli
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between approximately 1890 and 1900, offers a glimpse into the rich history and picturesque beauty of Constantinople, Turkey. The image focuses on the Bosphorus Strait, also known as the Bosporus, a vital waterway that separates Europe from Asia. In the foreground, the imposing Rumeli Fortress stands guard on the European side, its towering walls and bastions a testament to the city's storied past. Across the water, the Anadali-Hissar, or Anadolu Hissari, fortress can be seen on the Asian side. These fortresses, built in the late 15th century by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II, played a crucial role in the defense of Constantinople and its strategic position as a gateway to Europe and Asia. The photograph, with its warm, nostalgic tones, invites the viewer to step back in time and imagine the bustling activity on the shores of the Bosphorus. The vibrant colors, reminiscent of a bygone era, add to the sense of history and wonder. This image, a beautiful example of a photochrom print, is a testament to the power of photography to transport us to another place and time, and to remind us of the enduring allure of Constantinople and its storied past.
