EDITORS COMMENTS
An enchanting scene of Anadolu Hisari, the Anatolian Fortress, on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in Istanbul (then known as Constantinople), Turkey, circa 1902. The imposing fortress, a testament to the rich history of the Ottoman Empire, stands proudly on the Anatolian shore, its walls and towers reflecting in the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus River. The fortress, built in the 15th century, served as a crucial defensive structure for the empire, guarding the entrance to the Black Sea and protecting Istanbul from potential invaders. In the foreground, a traditional wooden rowing boat glides effortlessly along the river, adding a sense of tranquility and serenity to the scene. The lush greenery and picturesque houses on the European side of the Bosphorus create a beautiful contrast to the fortress's grandeur. The intricate details of the fortress, from its arched windows to its intricate stonework, are clearly visible in this photograph. The Bosphorus, a natural waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean Sea, has been a vital trade route and strategic location for centuries. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of grand empires, beautiful architecture, and stunning natural beauty.
