EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Aqueduct of Uzunkemer, an architectural marvel of the Ottoman Empire in Turkey. Located on the northern branch of the Kirkcesme Supply System, the aqueduct was completed in 1563 and spans the Belgrade Forest, just outside the bustling city of Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople. The engraving, produced by the skilled hands of Lemaitre, Danvin, and Cholet, is a testament to the intricate detail and artistry of the 19th century. The Aqueduct of Uzunkemer served as a crucial component of the Ottoman hydraulic engineering system, providing a reliable water supply to the city's residents. The monumental bridge, adorned with trees and foliage, showcases the harmonious blend of nature and engineering, as it carries the watercourse over a significant distance. The Ottoman Empire's mastery of hydraulics is evident in the design, which continues to inspire awe and admiration to this day. The print, taken from the comprehensive historical work "Historia de Turquia" by Jouannin and Van Gaver, published in 1840, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey. The Ottomans' impressive architectural achievements, such as the Aqueduct of Uzunkemer, showcase their ingenuity, resourcefulness, and commitment to providing essential services to their growing urban centers. The trees and foliage that surround the structure add a sense of tranquility and harmony, making this print a visual feast for the eyes and a valuable historical document.
