EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the breathtaking view of Istanbul's Golden Horn from the Eyub and Gumussuyu Hills in 1927. The Golden Horn, a natural harbor and historic waterway, has been a vital part of Istanbul's history for over 2,500 years. In this photograph, the curved shape of the Golden Horn is clearly visible, with its shimmering waters reflecting the sun's rays. The hillside in the foreground is dotted with graves and tombstones, creating an intriguing juxtaposition against the bustling cityscape in the background. Eyub Cemetery, located on the European side of Istanbul, is one of the oldest and most significant cemeteries in the city. Established during the Ottoman Empire, it is the final resting place for many prominent figures from Istanbul's past. The hillside's steep terrain is covered in a dense forest of gravestones and markers, each telling a unique story. The cemetery's serene atmosphere offers a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle of the city below. The photograph was taken by Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German-Jewish photographer who traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and Turkey during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His work captures the rich history and cultural diversity of the region, making it an invaluable resource for historians and scholars. This image offers a glimpse into Istanbul's past, showcasing its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. The view of the Golden Horn from Eyub and Gumussuyu Hills remains a popular attraction for visitors to this vibrant and historic city.
