EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts the Kiosk of the Grand Seigneur at Bebek, a stunning Ottoman palace located on the European side of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus Strait. The Kiosk, also known as the "Little Palace," was built in the late 18th century for Sultan Abdulhamid I as a retreat and entertainment venue. The intricate Turkish architecture is beautifully captured in this engraving by Lemaitre, Cholet, and Fleury, created for the comprehensive work "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver, published in 1840. The Bosphorus, a vital waterway connecting the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean, is shown in all its splendor. Boats and ships of various sizes dot the water, with rowers skillfully navigating the fluvial landscape. The pier and jetty at Bebek are bustling with activity, as people and goods are transported between continents. The Kiosk of the Grand Seigneur stands proudly on the littoral, its grandeur undiminished by the passage of time. The building's ornate design, featuring pavilions, minarets, and intricate tilework, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire. The serene waters of the Bosphorus reflect the beauty of the palace and the vibrant cityscape of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era of maritime exploration, grand architecture, and the splendor of the Ottoman Empire.
