EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Bosphorus, from Therapia, 1890" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Istanbul during the late 19th century. The image showcases Tarabya, a picturesque village located on the European shore of the Bosphorus strait. This serene coastal town holds great historical significance as it was captured by Ottoman forces during the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. The photograph is an engraving taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" a renowned literary work by Edmund Ollier published in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890. It beautifully captures the essence of this medieval landscape with its rooftops dotted along the hilly terrain and ships gracefully sailing through the strait's turquoise waters. In this scene, we see a shepherd tending to his flock of sheep against a backdrop of stunning geographical features that define Istanbul's unique charm. The image not only highlights Turkey's rich history but also provides insight into daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece created by an unknown artist, we are transported to another time and place where tranquility meets history. It serves as a reminder of how our world has evolved over centuries while still preserving its timeless beauty.
