EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, created by the skilled hands of Lemaitre, Preaux, and Charles Lalaisse, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of Trabzon, a Black Sea coastal city in Turkey during the Ottoman Empire era. The image, originally published in the comprehensive work "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver in 1840, showcases the panoramic view of Trabzon's bustling harbor and the imposing defensive walls that protected the city. The Ottoman influence is evident in the architectural details of the buildings, with their distinctive domes and minarets reaching towards the sky. Trabzon, also known as Trapezus or Trebizond, was a significant city along the ancient Silk Road, making it a melting pot of cultures and traditions. The Black Sea served as a vital trade route, connecting the city to the wider world. The protective walls, visible in the engraving, were essential in safeguarding the city from potential threats. The intricate details of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of daily life in Trabzon during the Ottoman Empire era. The image is a testament to the beauty and complexity of Turkey's rich history and the enduring legacy of the Ottomans.
