1. Title: "A Glimpse of Istanbul's Rich History: Fenerbahce Lighthouse, War Ministry Gate, and Surrounding Landmarks" 2. Description: This postcard image, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, transports us back in time to the late 1800s in Istanbul, Turkey. The photograph showcases a breathtaking view of the Fenerbahce Lighthouse, located in the Moda-Kadikoy district, and several other notable landmarks. 3. Background: Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, has a rich history that spans over a thousand years. This postcard, dated 1898, offers a glimpse into the city's Ottoman past. In the foreground, the Fenerbahce Lighthouse stands tall, its white tower beckoning mariners safely to the shores of the Bosphorus. 4. Landmarks: To the right of the lighthouse, the War Ministry Gate can be seen, an imposing structure that once served as the entrance to the War Ministry. Further in the distance, the Administration of Public Debts building, now the Istanbul High School, can be identified by its grand architecture. The Building of the Administration of Public Debts was a significant institution during the Ottoman Empire, responsible for managing the empire's debt. 5. Surrounding Landmarks: In the background, the Seraskier (Serasker) Tower, also known as the Beyazit Tower or Kireçkapi Kulesi, can be seen. This historic tower, located in the Beyazit Square, was used as a watchtower and a prison during the Ottoman era. The Minarets of the Beyazit Mosque and the Istanbul University can also be spotted in the background. 6. Conclusion: This postcard offers a unique perspective into Istanbul's past, showcasing the city's diverse history and architectural beauty. From the Fenerbahce Lighthouse to the War Ministry Gate and the surrounding landmarks, this image is a testament to the city's enduring charm and rich heritage.
