EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910s, showcases the iconic Galata Bridge in Istanbul, Turkey. Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, has a rich historical background that spans over 2,000 years. The city served as the capital of the Roman Empire from 330-395 AD and was considered the center of civilization for 600 years during Byzantine times. In the late 1920s, the city was renamed Istanbul after the declaration of the Republic. The Galata Bridge, a significant landmark in Istanbul, is shown here with a bustling scene of activity. The bridge, which spans the Bosphorus Strait, connects the European and Asian sides of the city. The Bosphorus, a vital waterway, has historically been the lifeline of Constantinople, facilitating trade and commerce. The photograph captures a variety of boats and ferries docked at the wharf, while trams and an electric tower can be seen in the background. The skyline of Istanbul, with its towering structures, adds to the vibrant and dynamic atmosphere of the scene. The smoke rising from the factories and industries adds a sense of industry and progress to the image. Despite its rich history, Istanbul is now a modern metropolis with a population of over 11 million, making it the third largest city in the world. This photograph serves as a testament to the city's enduring character and its unique position as the only metropolis in the world situated on two continents.
