EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting beauty of the Tokatlian (Tokatliyan) Hotel at Therapia on the Bosphorus in Istanbul, Turkey, circa 1922. The hotel, run by an Armenian entrepreneur, is nestled along the picturesque waterfront of Tarabya (Therapia), a world-renowned district famous for its aromatic raspberries, restaurants, and tranquil atmosphere. The image showcases the fine architecture of the hotel, with its elegant facade and ornate details, reflecting the rich history of the Ottoman Empire. The steam rising from the waterside adds a sense of serenity and tranquility to the scene. In the background, a steamboat or ferry can be seen making its way across the Bosphorus, a vital waterway that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara and the Mediterranean. The former British Consulate, which still owns a garden in the area, is also visible in the distance. Tarabya was a popular destination for European travelers and diplomats during the early 20th century, and the area's natural beauty and cosmopolitan atmosphere made it an ideal location for luxurious hotels like the Tokatlian. Max Fruchtermann, the photographer, expertly captures the essence of this bygone era, transporting us back in time to a period of elegance, sophistication, and cultural exchange. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Istanbul and its storied past.
