EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting city of Constantinople in 1900. The focal point is none other than the majestic Tower of Galata, also known as Christea Turris, which was built in 1348. Standing tall on the Galata side of the Golden Horn, this architectural marvel dominates Istanbul's skyline. The image captures the tower's grandeur against a backdrop of bustling streets and buildings that line its surroundings. It offers a glimpse into daily life during this era, showcasing a vibrant cityscape filled with people going about their business. The monochrome tones add an air of nostalgia and timelessness to the scene. As we admire this engraving from "The Life and Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traversed these very roads. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to appreciate both the beauty of Turkish architecture and the rich history embedded within every stone. Through this photograph, we can almost hear echoes from centuries past – whispers of trade routes, cultural exchange, and historical significance that have shaped Istanbul into what it is today. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modernization and progress, there will always be remnants of our collective heritage standing tall for generations to come.
