EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque harbor at Moda on the Sea of Marmara in Istanbul, Turkey, dating back to 1927. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this ancient city, which was once the heart of the Ottoman Empire and famously known as Constantinople. The harbor is bustling with activity, with small fishing boats and rowing crafts moored along the quay, their colors and shapes adding a vibrant contrast against the grayish-toned water. The quayside is filled with people, some engaged in mending their nets or loading and unloading goods, while others seem to be simply enjoying the day by the water. The photograph, taken by the renowned photographer Max Fruchtermann, beautifully captures the timeless charm of Istanbul's waterfront. The city's iconic skyline, with its mosques, minarets, and European-style buildings, can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the scene. The Sea of Marmara, which lies between Europe and Asia, has long been an essential part of Istanbul's life and economy, serving as a vital trade route and a source of livelihood for many. This photograph offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when the world was a little slower, and the simple pleasures of life were cherished.
