EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of transformation in the Ottoman Empire as Sultan Abdul Hamid II makes his way to the Friday Prayers in Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) following the proclamation of the Constitution on February 3, 1908. Sultan Abdul Hamid II, born in 1842, ruled the Ottoman Empire from August 31, 1876, until his deposition on April 27, 1909. This image showcases the grandeur and majesty of the imperial ceremony as the Sultan, dressed in his resplendent white uniform, rides in a carriage adorned with gold and jewels, accompanied by military personnel and high-ranking officials. The proclamation of the Constitution marked the end of Abdul Hamid II's absolute rule and the beginning of a new era in Turkish history. The Empire was in a state of decline, and the Sultan's autocratic rule had failed to address the mounting political, economic, and social challenges. The adoption of the Constitution was a significant step towards modernization and democratization, paving the way for the eventual establishment of the Turkish Republic. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the moment and the power and pomp that once surrounded the Ottoman Sultanate. The image transports us back to a time when the imperial capital of Constantinople was the center of a vast and powerful empire, and the Sultan was the embodiment of its majesty and authority.
