EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Constantinople: Rumeli Hissar and the Bosporus" takes us back to early 20th century Turkey. The image, captured by an anonymous Turkish photographer, showcases the stunning beauty of Istanbul's iconic landmarks. The focal point of the photograph is Rumeli Hissar, a fortress located on the European side of Istanbul. Its grandeur is magnified as it stands proudly against the backdrop of the Bosporus Strait. The monochromatic tones lend a timeless quality to this historical scene, transporting us to a bygone era. Published in Jacques Ludwigsohn's booklet of photos in 1909 or earlier, this particular shot was credited to Maison Sebah & Joaillier, renowned photographers based in Constantinople at that time. Their expertise shines through in their ability to capture every intricate detail with precision. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of photography art, we are reminded of Constantinople's rich history and its significance as a bridge between Europe and Asia. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political changes and shifting landscapes over time, certain landmarks remain steadfast symbols of cultural heritage. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the technical skill involved but also offers a glimpse into an enchanting period when Istanbul was known as Constantinople – an era forever frozen in black and white for generations to come.
