EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1897, offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant character of Istanbul, Turkey, during the late Ottoman Empire. The image features the iconic Galata Tower, a historic landmark that has stood tall since the 14th century, located in the district of the same name. The tower, with its distinctive conical design and red and white stripes, has long been a symbol of Istanbul's multicultural heritage and offers stunning panoramic views of the city. In the foreground, Buyuk Hendek Avenue, also known as "Big Mole Street," is bustling with activity. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians fill the narrow, cobblestone street, while vendors display their wares in the shops along the avenue. The colorful buildings, adorned with intricate architectural details, reflect the diverse influences of the Ottoman Empire, which ruled over Istanbul for centuries. The postcard, taken by renowned photographer Max Fruchtermann, captures the essence of Constantinople, as Istanbul was then known, during the 19th century. The image invites us to step back in time and explore the history and culture of this fascinating city, which continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
