EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th-century map, titled "Byzantium, now Constantinople," offers a captivating glimpse into the historical transformation of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire. The map, produced during the height of Ottoman power, illustrates the city as it appeared after the Turks' successful conquest in 1453. The Ottoman Empire, under the reign of Sultan Mehmed II, had captured the once-mighty Byzantine capital, marking the end of the Byzantine Empire and the beginning of a new era. The map's intricate details and decorative elements reflect the grandeur and sophistication of the Ottoman court. The central focus of the map is Istanbul, with its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The Bosphorus Strait, which divides Europe and Asia, is depicted as a winding ribbon of water, connecting the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea. The map also highlights key landmarks, including the Golden Horn, the Hagia Sophia, and the Bosphorus Bridge. Surrounding the map, a decorative medallion showcases the portraits of twelve emperors, both Byzantine and Ottoman, who ruled over the city throughout history. The Ottoman emperors are depicted in traditional Turkish attire, while the Byzantine emperors are shown in imperial robes and crowns. This visual juxtaposition underscores the historical significance of the Ottoman conquest and the passage of power from one empire to another. The map's intricate details and historical importance make it a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. This beautiful print is a testament to the enduring allure of the past and the power of cartography to transport us back in time.
