EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Istanbul, then known as Constantinople, during the Ottoman Empire. The image captures the Grande Rue de Pera, a vibrant and cosmopolitan thoroughfare located in the heart of the city. The grandeur of the European quarter is on full display, with its elegant buildings, horse-drawn carriages, and the distinctive tram making its way down the street. At the center of the photograph, the imposing gates of Lycee Galata Serai, a prestigious high school, proudly stand. Established in 1868, the school was a beacon of education and enlightenment during the Ottoman era. The students, both Turkish and European, would have walked through these gates every day, eager to learn and expand their horizons. The school's influence extended beyond its walls, contributing to the intellectual and cultural development of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire as a whole. The photograph's composition invites us to explore the rich history and diverse culture of this remarkable city. The blend of European and Ottoman architectural styles, the horse-drawn carriages, and the bustling activity on the streets all serve as a testament to the unique character of Istanbul during this period. This photograph is not only a beautiful reminder of the past but also a glimpse into the complex and fascinating history of Turkey.
