EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting postcard image captures the breathtaking beauty of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, Turkey, in the early 20th century. The ancient Seven Towers, an integral part of the city's historic walls, stand proudly in the background, their imposing structures a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of this magnificent city. The towers, set against a vibrant red border of ripe cherries, add a pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the scene. The lush, green foliage of the cherries creates a picturesque backdrop for the towers, their branches heavy with fruit. In the foreground, a few sheep graze peacefully, adding a touch of rural charm to the urban landscape. The Seven Towers, also known as the Bulwark of Europe, were an essential part of Constantinople's fortifications and have played a crucial role in the city's defense throughout history. The towers were built during the Byzantine era, and their intricate design and strategic locations made them a formidable fortress against invading forces. This postcard, with its idyllic scene of ancient architecture, lush cherries, and peaceful grazing sheep, offers a glimpse into the past and the unique charm of Constantinople. The image invites us to imagine a time when the city was a thriving cultural and commercial hub, a place where East met West and where history came alive in every corner.
