EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history at the harbour of Batum (Batumi) on the Black Sea near the Turkish border. Taken in 1840, during a time when Batum was still under Turkish rule, this image provides a glimpse into the past of this significant port city. The bustling activity of ships and boats in the harbour is frozen in time, offering a window into the maritime trade and commerce that once thrived in this region.
The picturesque setting of Batum against the backdrop of the Black Sea is truly mesmerizing, with its historical significance adding an extra layer of intrigue to this scene. The architecture and layout of the harbour reflect a bygone era when Turkey held sway over this strategic location.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when Batum was known for its importance as a trading hub and gateway to Europe from Asia. The rich history and cultural heritage of Georgia come alive through this image, reminding us of the enduring legacy left behind by centuries of diverse influences.
In preserving moments like these through photography, we are able to connect with our shared past and gain a deeper appreciation for how far we have come as societies. This print serves as both a visual delight and an educational tool, allowing us to explore the complexities of geopolitics and trade relations in times gone by.
