EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Constantinople in 1913. The image captures Step Street, a steep avenue lined with shops and awnings, teeming with people going about their daily lives. In this snapshot of city life, women can be seen strolling along the road, accompanied by children who add a touch of innocence to the scene. The architecture reflects the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that define this vibrant city in Asia. The monochrome tones enhance the timeless quality of this moment frozen in time. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported to a different era, where busy markets and narrow lanes were an integral part of everyday life. The sun blinds hanging from shop fronts provide relief from the scorching sun while adding an element of charm to the street view. This print is not just a visual representation; it encapsulates an entire concept – capturing the essence of Constantinople during its transition into modernity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain aspects like city life remain constant throughout history. With its rich historical significance and stunning composition, this print offers us a glimpse into early 20th-century Constantinople - a testament to Robert Hitchens' talent for capturing moments that transcend time.
