This captivating vintage real photo postcard showcases a bustling scene of the Galata Bridge in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), Turkey. Looking toward the Pera and Galata districts, the image features the iconic Galata Tower rising above the city skyline. The bridge itself is teeming with activity, including early 20th-century electric trams, pedestrians, and horse-drawn carriages, providing a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of this historic crossroads. In the foreground, several steamships and ferries are docked along the Golden Horn, emphasizing the city's importance as a maritime hub. The sepia-toned photography beautifully captures the architectural density and atmospheric smoke of the era. The reverse side contains a handwritten note in English describing the view of Pera and Galata, mentioning the ancient Genoese tower and the diverse mix of people crossing the bridge, adding a personal historical context to this collectible piece.
