EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, during the era of Ottoman rule, as we gaze upon a postcard addressed to Jerusalem. The delicate handwriting on the front reads "Jerusalem, Turkey in Asia" revealing how this ancient city was perceived at that time. What makes this postcard even more intriguing is its origin - it was sent all the way from America. As we delve into history through this image, we are reminded of the intricate connections between different cultures and continents. The juxtaposition of "turkey" and "turkish" with "Europe" and "European Union" hints at the complex interplay between East and West during this period. It serves as a reminder that borders can be fluid, identities multifaceted. Beyond its geographical significance lies a deeper political context. This postcard carries within it echoes of power dynamics and colonial influences prevalent in the Middle East during that era. It invites us to reflect on how politics shape history and vice versa. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness an artifact that encapsulates both personal correspondence and global affairs. As we contemplate this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to spark curiosity about our shared human story across nations and centuries past.
