EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking panorama, captured in 1897, offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant landscape of Istanbul, Turkey (then known as Constantinople), during the late Ottoman Empire period. The photograph, taken from the Galata Tower, showcases an expansive view of the city's iconic landmarks. On the left, the Tophane area, with its distinctive red-roofed buildings and the Tophane Monument, stands proudly. In the middle ground, the Asian side of Istanbul, specifically Uskudar, can be seen, with its lush greenery and serene waterfront. The historic Seraglio Point, with its imposing fortifications and the Sultan's pavilion, is prominently featured on the European side of the Bosphorus. The Galata Bridge, a vital connection between the European and Asian sides of the city, spans the Bosphorus in the foreground. The bridge, with its double-deck design, was a marvel of engineering in the late 19th century. Max Fruchtermann, a renowned German photographer, captured this panoramic view, offering us a unique perspective of Istanbul during the 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the city's rich history, cultural diversity, and enduring beauty. This image invites us to explore the intriguing past and vibrant present of Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
