Istanbul, the vibrant city that bridges Europe and Asia, is a treasure trove of history and culture. From the majestic Süleymaniye Camii to the bustling Istiklal Street in Beyoglu District, this city has witnessed countless significant events throughout its rich past. One such event was the attack on Sultan Abdul Hamid during the Selamlik at the Hamidie Mosque in Constantinople. A captivating color litho depicts this dramatic moment, showcasing the intensity of politics and power struggles within Istanbul. Another striking image portrays a military revolt in Constantinople, with rebel soldiers gathering armed at Hagia Sophia. This rebellion serves as a reminder of Istanbul's turbulent history and its resilience against internal conflicts. Nature itself has also left its mark on Istanbul. A Turkish mosque near Istanbul was struck by lightning during a thunderstorm, leaving its minaret damaged but standing tall amidst adversity. The city's streets have seen both joyous celebrations and unrest. The great manifestations of joy after victory over the Greeks gave rise to social tensions, while cholera outbreaks forced Saint Sophia to be transformed into a lazaret to combat it alongside Bulgarian forces. Historical engravings capture pivotal moments like Sultan Selim III's enthronement in 1789 or when news reached The Imperial Divan about Ochakiv's capture in 1788. These images transport us back to an era where empires rose and fell within these ancient walls. Istanbul is not just a place; it is an amalgamation of stories etched into every corner. It stands as a testament to human triumphs and tragedies alike – from political assassinations like Grand Vizier Mahmud Scevket's killing to rebellions against oppressive regimes. As you explore Istanbul today, let yourself be immersed in its fascinating narrative that continues to unfold with each passing day.
