EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Constantinople's Cemetery of Scutari. Taken by a Turkish photographer in the early 20th century, this image is part of a private collection and showcases the talent of Maison Sebah & Joaillier, renowned photographers based in Constantinople. The cemetery, also known as Scutari Cemetery, is depicted in stunning detail against a backdrop of white. The intricate gravestones stand tall amidst the peaceful silence, creating an atmosphere that is both solemn and serene. Each tombstone tells its own story, representing lives lived and memories cherished. Located in central Turkey, Constantinople (now Istanbul) holds great historical significance as a bridge between Europe and Asia. This photo offers a glimpse into the city's rich cultural heritage with its European influences evident in the architecture surrounding the cemetery. The black and white color scheme adds to the timeless quality of this image. It evokes nostalgia for an era long gone while emphasizing the stark contrast between life and death within these sacred grounds. As we gaze upon this scene captured through photography artistry reminiscent of daguerreotypes, we are transported back to early 20th-century Constantinople. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our shared humanity and mortality – reminding us to cherish each moment we have on this earth.
