EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, titled "Istanbul, Turkey - Goksu - Sweet Waters of Asia Minor," dates back to 1895, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire. The photograph, taken by Max Fruchtermann, showcases the picturesque scene of the Goksu River, which flows through Asia Minor, now known as Anatolia, in modern-day Turkey. The serene waters of the Goksu River are surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, creating a breathtaking landscape. In the foreground, a group of basket makers can be seen carefully crafting baskets, their skillful hands weaving intricate patterns. The baskets, made from reeds and other natural materials, have been a traditional craft in Turkey for centuries, and the basket makers' deft touch is evident in the elegant curves and precise stitching of their creations. The image also reveals the historical significance of Istanbul as a melting pot of cultures, with the Ottoman architecture in the background, including the distinctive domes and minarets of mosques, reflecting the Islamic influence. The European influence is also present, as evidenced by the European-style houses and buildings. This postcard not only transports us back in time to the late 19th century but also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire. The basket makers, their craft, and the beautiful landscape of the Goksu River are a testament to the enduring history and rich cultural heritage of Turkey.
