EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Constantinople, present-day Istanbul. Inside a kiosk of the serail, we are transported to an era when the Ottoman dynasty reigned supreme under the rule of Soliman the Magnificent or Suleyman 1st. This architectural masterpiece was built by skilled hands to showcase its grandeur and elegance. In this particular scene, an anonymous woman from 1860 embarks on a visit to the serail. The engraving captures her awe as she explores every intricate detail within this magnificent structure. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves walking alongside her, admiring the beauty that surrounds us. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line and shadow brings life to this engraving. The fountain in the center adds a touch of tranquility amidst all the opulence, while oriental elements remind us of Turkey's rich cultural heritage. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insights into Arab civilization and Middle Eastern history. It allows us to appreciate how architecture has always been intertwined with culture and identity. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography transports us through time, capturing moments that would otherwise be lost forever. Through his lens, he immortalizes these precious glimpses into history for generations to come.
