EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated 1898, offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant culture of Turkey during the late Ottoman Empire era. The image, titled "Hotel Malacou, Fairgrounds and View of Midilli - Metelin, Lesbos," showcases a bustling scene at the fairgrounds of the Hotel Malacou in Midilli, a picturesque town located on the Turkish side of the Aegean Sea, opposite the Greek island of Lesbos. The Hotel Malacou, a popular destination for travelers during this period, is prominently featured in the foreground. The grand, two-story building, with its intricate architectural details and lush greenery, exudes an air of sophistication and luxury. The crowd of people, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, can be seen milling about, attending the fair or enjoying the scenic view of the hotel. In the background, the fairgrounds come alive with activity. Tents and booths dot the landscape, filled with merchants selling their wares, games of chance and skill, and various forms of entertainment. The excitement and energy of the crowd is palpable, as they engage in lively interactions and celebrate the joy of the fair. The stunning view of Midilli, with its quaint houses and winding streets, adds to the idyllic setting. The clear blue waters of the Aegean Sea, dotted with boats, complete the serene and picturesque scene. This postcard, captured by the skilled lens of Max Fruchtermann, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and culture of Turkey during the late Ottoman Empire era. It is a testament to the rich heritage and enduring allure of this fascinating country.
