EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1927, showcases the breathtaking view of Buyukada, or Prinkipo Island, from its neighboring island, Heybeliada, or Halki, in Istanbul, Turkey. The image transports us back in time to the early years of the Turkish Republic, following the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Buyukada, the largest of the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara, was once a popular retreat for the Ottoman elite and European expatriates. Its serene beauty is evident in this photograph, with its lush greenery, picturesque houses, and the iconic Phanar Monastery, visible on the left side of the image. Heybeliada, on the other hand, was a favored destination for the Ottoman sultans, who built several palaces and monasteries on the island. The island's tranquil atmosphere and stunning vistas, including the one depicted in this photograph, have made it a beloved destination for visitors to Istanbul even today. The photograph was taken by Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German-Jewish photographer who traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and the Mediterranean. His work, which captured the essence of the regions he visited, is an invaluable contribution to the historical record of the late Ottoman Empire and the early Turkish Republic. This photograph is not only a visual testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Istanbul and its surrounding islands but also a reminder of the enduring allure of these magical places that continue to captivate travelers from around the world.
