EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse of Ankara: A Historical Panorama of the Capital City of Turkey, 1934 Ankara, the enchanting capital city and administrative center of Turkey, nestled in the heart of Central Anatolia, is a place steeped in history and natural beauty. Established before 1200 BC by the Hittites, Ankara has been an essential part of Turkey's rich cultural heritage for millennia. This photograph, taken in 1934, offers a breathtaking view over the rooftops of this ancient city. The hillside landscape is dotted with red-tiled houses and whitewashed buildings, their terracotta rooftops blending seamlessly with the warm hues of the earth. The city's architectural diversity is evident, with modern structures harmoniously coexisting alongside traditional Ankara homes. The scene is a testament to the city's dynamic past and its ability to embrace both the old and the new. Ankara is renowned for its unique associations with Angora goats, the source of coveted mohair, and the Angora cat, named for its soft, luxurious fur. The region is also famous for its white rabbits, which produce high-quality angora wool. Additionally, Ankara is known for its delectable pears, honey, and the muscat grapes that thrive in the area's fertile lands. This photograph, taken in the 1930s, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the charm and allure of Ankara as it was over 90 years ago. The image serves as a reminder of the city's enduring history and its continued relevance in Turkey's modern narrative.
