EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Constantinople: Rumeli Hissar" takes us back in time to early 20th century Turkey. The image, captured by an anonymous Turkish photographer, showcases the majestic beauty of Rumeli Hissar, a fortress located on the European side of Istanbul. The monochromatic tones add a sense of nostalgia and highlight the intricate architectural details of this historical landmark. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in a booklet published by Jacques Ludwigsohn in Constantinople around 1909. Rumeli Hissar stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of the cityscape evokes a sense of awe and wonder. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are transported to another era, where Europe meets Asia at the crossroads between East and West. The photo captures not only the physical beauty but also represents an important chapter in Turkish history. Through this remarkable piece of photography art, we can appreciate both the technical skill involved in capturing such detail with daguerreotype techniques as well as its artistic value as an illustration that brings history to life. This black-and-white gem from Bridgeman Images allows us to immerse ourselves in the charm and allure of old Constantinople while reminding us how photography has always been able to capture moments frozen in time for future generations to admire.
