EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures the elegance and charm of the Tokatlian Hotel at Therapia on the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, circa 1910s. The Tokatlian Hotel, also known as Tokatliyan, was run by an Armenian family and was renowned for its fine architecture and exceptional hospitality. Located in the picturesque district of Tarabya (Therapia), the hotel was famous for its proximity to the world-renowned aromatic raspberries and an array of restaurants. Tarabya was also the site of the former British Consulate, whose garden still stands as a testament to the area's rich history. The photograph showcases the stunning waterside location of the hotel, with the Bosphorus and its steamboats and ferries in the background. The Tokatlian Hotel's whitewashed facade, with its intricate architectural details and lush greenery, stands proudly on the quay. The image also features a paddlesteamer, or paddlewheel steamer, making its way along the Bosphorus, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The Ottoman Empire's history is evident in the traditional Turkish houses and the steam-powered vessels that once dominated the waterways. The Horticultural Institute, founded by Mr. George Mavrogordato, is also visible in the background, adding to the area's reputation as a hub for horticulture and natural beauty. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of Istanbul's unique blend of history, culture, and natural splendor.
