EDITORS COMMENTS
Scutari, now known as Uskudar, is a historic and culturally rich district located on the Asian side of Istanbul, Turkey. This photograph, taken circa 1890, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the picturesque waterfront of Scutari. The serene Bosphorus Strait, which separates Europe and Asia, is the backdrop for this image, with its shimmering waters reflecting the soft glow of the setting sun. The photograph reveals the charming architecture of the era, with traditional wooden houses lining the shore. The intricate details of the buildings, from their ornate balconies to their colorful shutters, are a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the region. The presence of fishing boats in the foreground adds to the scene's tranquility and authenticity. Scutari was a popular destination for European travelers during the late 19th century, and this photograph likely captures the moment when the district was at the height of its charm. The area's natural beauty, combined with its rich history and cultural significance, made it an irresistible subject for photographers of the time. Today, Uskudar remains an essential part of Istanbul's fabric, offering visitors a glimpse into the city's past while also showcasing its modern vibrancy. This photograph serves as a reminder of the district's enduring allure and the lasting impact of the past on the present.
