EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic presence of the Turkish Sphinx guarding the Dardanelles during a historical moment in 1915. The moon hangs high in the sky, casting an ethereal glow over this exotic and mysterious scene. The crescent shape of the moon echoes the iconic symbol of Turkey, adding to the sense of history and tradition.
The Turkish sphinx stands tall and proud, its veiled face shrouded in secrecy as it watches over one of the most important waterways in the world. This image is not just a snapshot from a bygone era, but a powerful reminder of events that shaped our global landscape.
In times of war and conflict, these guardians stood steadfast at their posts, protecting their homeland with unwavering dedication. Their stoic presence is both awe-inspiring and haunting, serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during turbulent times.
As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported back to a time when history was being written on these very shores. Let us remember those who came before us and honor their legacy by preserving their stories for future generations to learn from.
