EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of Istanbul's European waterfront at Arnavutkoy, also known as "The Armenian Quay," circa 1905. The Jetty at Arnavutkoy, located on the European bank of the Bosphorus, is a picturesque scene of tranquility and transportation. The image showcases a number of wooden jetties extending into the Bosphorus, with small boats and ferries tied up alongside. The steam ferries, a common mode of transport during the Ottoman Empire, are a testament to the area's rich maritime history. The waterfront bustles with activity, as people go about their daily business, and the sounds of the bustling city of Istanbul can be heard in the distance. The Jetty at Arnavutkoy was an essential part of the transportation network in Istanbul during the early 1900s. It connected the European and Asian sides of the city, allowing for the efficient movement of goods and people across the Bosphorus. The quay was also a popular gathering place for locals and visitors alike, offering stunning views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period of history when Istanbul was a thriving hub of commerce and culture. The image is a reminder of the city's rich maritime heritage and its enduring connection to the Bosphorus.
