EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, dated 1898, presents a serene view of the harbor and Hotel Malacou in Midilli, also known as Metelin, on the beautiful island of Lesbos in Turkey. During this period, Lesbos was part of the Ottoman Empire, a vast and influential political and cultural powerhouse that spanned three continents. The Ottoman Empire, which lasted from the late 13th century until the early 20th century, was renowned for its rich history, diverse population, and architectural marvels. The postcard reveals a picturesque scene of the harbor, with its calm waters reflecting the clear blue sky and the quaint boats docked along the shore. In the background, the elegant Hotel Malacou stands proudly, its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs contrasting against the lush greenery of the surrounding hills. The hotel, which was likely a popular destination for travelers and tourists during the late Ottoman era, adds a touch of sophistication and modernity to the otherwise rustic harbor scene. The postcard was likely produced by a European photographer or publishing house, showcasing the growing interest in travel and exploration during the late 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the image offer a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of discovery and wonder. Today, this postcard serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.
