EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning postcard, dated 1898, captures a breathtaking view of Izmir's Custom House in Turkey, then part of the Ottoman Empire. The image, titled "View of Izmir - Zeybeks," offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city, now known as Smyrna. The Custom House, a grand architectural masterpiece, dominates the foreground of the photograph. Its imposing structure, with its intricate details and ornate columns, reflects the European influence that permeated the Ottoman Empire during the late 19th century. The building served as a crucial hub for trade and commerce, connecting the East and the West through the bustling port of Izmir. In the background, a group of Zeybeks, a legendary Turkish military and social order, can be seen riding horses and engaging in various activities. The Zeybeks were known for their bravery and freedom-loving spirit, and their presence in this photograph adds an intriguing layer of historical significance to the scene. The photograph, taken by Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German photographer, showcases the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that characterized Izmir during the Ottoman era. The Custom House, with its European architectural style, stands in stark contrast to the traditional Turkish attire of the Zeybeks, highlighting the diverse cultural melting pot that was Izmir. This postcard, with its captivating imagery and historical significance, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period of great cultural and historical importance in the history of Turkey and the Ottoman Empire.
