EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fortifications of the Bosphorus, Interior of the Fortress of Mahdjar, Asiatic Side" takes us back to 19th century Turkey. The image showcases the impressive fortifications and ramparts that guarded the coastal region along the Bosphorus Strait. The fortress itself stands proudly on the Asiatic side, a symbol of Turkish culture and strength. Its fortified walls exude an air of grandeur and power as they stretch along the coastline, protecting against potential threats from both land and sea. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported to a time when Europe was captivated by tales from distant lands in the Middle East. The intricate details captured by English School artists for The Illustrated London News in 1877 bring this momentous era to life. The engraving not only highlights Turkey's strategic location between Europe and Asia but also showcases its rich maritime heritage. With its stunning coastlines and breathtaking views of the sea, it is no wonder that this region has been coveted throughout history. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us across time and space. It allows us to appreciate historical landmarks while immersing ourselves in different cultures. Let this engraving serve as a window into a world long gone yet forever preserved through artistic expression.
