EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1906, showcases the picturesque harbor town of Ismit, now known as Izmit, located in the Kocaeli province of Turkey. Situated 87 km southeast of Istanbul, Izmit holds a rich historical significance as the eastern and most senior capital city of the Roman Empire between 286 and 324 AD. Founded in 712 BC, the town boasts a long and illustrious past. The panoramic view captures the town's vibrant housing structures, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, nestled along the coast of the Aegean Sea. The townscape is further adorned with the distinctive minarets of mosques, reflecting the region's diverse cultural heritage. The tranquil waters of the harbor are dotted with fishing boats, adding to the quaint charm of the scene. In the distance, the blue expanse of the sea merges with the horizon, creating a breathtaking vista. However, the serene image belies the town's tumultuous past. Izmit was the site of a devastating earthquake in 1999, measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale. The disaster claimed the lives of over 19,000 people and left many more homeless. The resilient spirit of the community, however, shone through, as they rebuilt their homes and reclaimed their lives. This photograph, published by Abraham Ghedavdjian, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing Izmit's unique character and beauty before the earthquake. It serves as a poignant reminder of the town's enduring history and the strength of its people.
