EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1898, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Istanbul, Constantinople, during the Ottoman Empire. The image, titled "Knife Sharpener, Coffeehouse, Porters, Fez Seller and Map of the Bosphorus," offers a glimpse into the daily life of this historic city. In the foreground, a knife sharpener intently focuses on his grinder, sharpening a customer's blade as smoke from the coal fire rises in the background. Nearby, a coffeehouse beckons, its inviting aroma wafting through the air. Porters, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, carry heavy loads on their heads, weaving through the crowded streets. A fez seller, with a colorful array of headpieces displayed on a table, calls out to potential customers. The map of the Bosphorus, spread out on a nearby table, adds to the intrigue of this scene. The Bosphorus, a strait that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, has long been a vital waterway for trade and commerce. The map, with its intricate details of the city and its landmarks, underscores the importance of Istanbul as a hub of transportation and commerce during the Ottoman Empire. The postcard, published by Max Fruchtermann, is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Istanbul. The blend of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, is on full display in this image. Whether you're an history buff, a travel enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of the past, this postcard is sure to transport you to another time and place.
