This vintage real photo postcard offers a breathtaking panoramic view of Top-Hane (Tophane) and the Bosphorus in Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul. The image captures the intricate architecture of the Nusretiye Mosque with its distinctive slender minarets, overlooking a bustling harbor filled with steamships and sailing vessels. The foreground is rich with the dense urban fabric of the historic district, providing a fascinating glimpse into the city's early 20th-century landscape.Published by Editeur Isaac M. Ahitouv, Constantinople, this postcard is a prime example of high-quality topographical photography from the era. The sepia-toned finish highlights the dramatic contrast between the hills of the Bosphorus and the maritime activity on the water. This piece serves as a significant historical document of Ottoman-era Turkey, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Middle Eastern history, nautical themes, or vintage architectural photography.
