View of Giresun, Turkey - Shoreline: A Glimpse into the Past of the Ancient City and the Origin of Cherries (1898) This postcard image, taken in 1898, showcases the picturesque shoreline of Giresun, Turkey, a city steeped in history and natural beauty. The photograph, taken during the late Ottoman Empire era, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the tranquil waters and charming coastal landscape that has long attracted visitors. Giresun, located on the Black Sea coast, is renowned for its stunning natural scenery and rich cultural heritage. The city has been an essential trading hub since ancient times, with its strategic location connecting Europe and Asia. In this photograph, we can see the traditional wooden houses nestled along the coastline, their vibrant colors reflecting off the calm waters. But the history of Giresun extends beyond its picturesque landscape. This region is also the believed origin of cherries as we know them today. The city's name, Giresun, is derived from the Greek word 'gyros,' meaning cherry. The area's favorable climate and fertile soil have made it an ideal place for cherry cultivation for thousands of years. The cherries grown in Giresun are known for their unique taste and high quality, making them a prized commodity both locally and internationally. This postcard, captured by the skilled lens of Max Fruchtermann, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the beauty and history of Giresun and its cherries. The image invites us to imagine the stories of the people who have lived and worked along this shoreline, their lives intertwined with the cherries that have thrived in this land for generations.
