Dated between approximately 1890 and 1900, the photograph presents an intriguing panorama of a section of the city, then known as the 'Queen of Cities' and the 'City of Three Continents.' The photograph showcases the rich architectural tapestry of Constantinople, with its grandiose domes and minarets, Byzantine basilicas, and Ottoman mosques, all nestled amidst the bustling streets and winding alleys. The Bosphorus Strait, a natural harbor and vital waterway, glimmers in the foreground, reflecting the city's vibrant past and its strategic significance as a cultural and commercial crossroads.
