EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Constantinople in 1877. In this snapshot of history, we witness the daily life of a vibrant city as a horse-drawn tram makes its way through the crowded thoroughfare. The image showcases an era when public transport was still in its infancy, with this particular mode being one of the earliest forms seen in what is now Istanbul, Turkey. The scene is filled with activity and diverse characters. A group of men can be seen standing on the tram, engrossed in conversation or perhaps discussing matters of importance. Among them is a distinguished gentleman enjoying his pipe while taking in the sights and sounds around him. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing engraving, our eyes are drawn to every intricate detail - from the ornate architecture lining both sides of the street to the curious dog trotting alongside, seemingly unbothered by all that surrounds it. This historical artifact not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human progress and innovation. It reminds us how far we have come since those days when horse-drawn trams were at the forefront of urban transportation. This print allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating how modern advancements have shaped our present-day metropolis.
