EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting beauty of The Bosphorus, with Constantinople in the distance, taken in 1913. From Robert Hitchens' renowned book "The Near East" this print showcases a mesmerizing aerial view of Istanbul, Turkey. The image portrays a stunning coastline that stretches as far as the eye can see, highlighting the unique geographical features of this Middle Eastern city. From an elevated rooftop perspective, one can appreciate the intricate web of rooftops that make up this vibrant community. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting viewers back to early 20th century Western Asia. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Istanbul. As we gaze upon this remarkable vista, we are reminded of how landscapes have shaped civilizations throughout time. The Bosphorus Strait acts as both a physical barrier and an essential lifeline for trade and communication between continents. It symbolizes unity between Europe and Asia while simultaneously dividing them. This print by Robert Hitchens evokes a sense of wonderment at nature's grandeur intertwined with human ingenuity. It invites us to explore our connection to place and marvel at the historical tapestry woven across centuries on these ancient lands.
