EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of history frozen in time - the Istanbul Walls, part of the triple lines of walls that were built to protect Byzantium from invaders. Dating back to around 1840, these ancient walls stand as a testament to the city's rich and tumultuous past.
Despite their intended purpose to keep out all comers, including the Turks, these formidable barriers ultimately failed when Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1453. The image showcases the intricate architecture and sheer magnitude of these historic structures, serving as a reminder of the power struggles that have shaped Istanbul over centuries.
The photograph transports viewers back in time, allowing them to imagine what life was like within these protective walls during a pivotal moment in history. The juxtaposition of modern-day Turkey with this snapshot from centuries ago is both striking and thought-provoking.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image but a story - one filled with triumphs and defeats, conquests and losses. This print serves as a window into the past, inviting us to reflect on how far we've come while honoring those who came before us.
