Canvas Print : Valens Aqueduct - Constantinople
Canvas Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Valens Aqueduct - Constantinople
Setting of the sun on the ruins of the Byzantine Aqueduct, built by Emperor Valens in about 375 AD. Water tapped from streams outside the city. In use until the late 19th century. Original length 1000 metres of which 625m remain standing. Postcard by Publishing House of Rochat. Inspired to issue a series of cards of quite well-known views of Constantinople which they then washed out in various colours. This was perhaps, for Constantinople, an innovation and the cards proved to be very popular with the public

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the sun sets over the ruins of the Valens Aqueduct in Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. Built by Emperor Valens around 375 AD, this architectural marvel was designed to tap water from streams outside the city and bring it into the heart of Constantinople. With an original length of 1000 metres, of which 625 metres remain standing, this Byzantine engineering feat served the city for over 1500 years, until the late 19th century. The sun's rays cast long shadows over the ancient arches, their once-majestic forms now weathered by time. The setting sun bathes the ruins in a warm, golden light, adding a sense of tranquility and mystery to the scene. The Valens Aqueduct stands as a testament to the rich history of Constantinople, a city that has been shaped by the ebb and flow of empires and civilizations. This photograph, published by a renowned publishing house in the early 20th century, captures the essence of a bygone era. The company, known for its innovative approach to visual storytelling, produced a series of postcards featuring well-known views of Constantinople. This particular image, washed out in various colours, proved to be particularly popular with the public, offering a unique perspective on the history and beauty of this ancient city. The Valens Aqueduct, with its grand arches and storied past, continues to captivate visitors from around the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of history and the beauty of the natural world, as the sun sets on the ruins of this remarkable engineering feat.
