EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken around the turn of the twentieth century, captures the scenic beauty and rustic charm of the Island of Prinlapo on the eastern coast of the Sea of Marmara. The Sea of Marmara, also known as the Sea of Marmora or the Marmara Sea, is an inland sea entirely within the borders of Turkey, connecting the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea and separating the Asian and European parts of the country. In this image, donkeys laden with goods are led by their owners and riders along a winding path, their hooves kicking up clouds of dust as they make their way across the island. The sea, shimmering in the distance, adds an air of tranquility and serenity to the scene. The Island of Prinlapo, with its rugged terrain and picturesque landscapes, has long been a popular destination for travelers and explorers. In the context of classical antiquity, the Sea of Marmara was known as the Propontis, and it played a significant role in ancient history, serving as a vital trade route between the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea. Today, the island remains a testament to the rich cultural heritage and natural beauty of Turkey's coastline, offering visitors a glimpse into a simpler way of life that has endured through the centuries.
