EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless beauty of Istanbul's Moda district in Kadikoy, on the Asian side of the city, circa 1907. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this vibrant area, which was once part of the Ottoman Empire. The photograph features a rocky coastline, with the shimmering waters of the Bosphorus Strait stretching out towards the horizon. The rugged rocks, battered by the relentless waves, are a stark contrast to the tranquil sea, creating a breathtaking scene that has captivated visitors for generations. The script in the bottom left corner of the photograph, written in Turkish, reads "Kadi Keui," which is the old Turkish name for Kadikoy. This historical district, located on the shores of the Bosphorus, has been an important trading hub for centuries, with its strategic location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with the simple wooden houses and boats dotted along the coastline. The Ottoman-era architecture, with its intricate details and elegant curves, adds to the sense of history and tradition that permeates this area. Today, Moda is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, known for its lively markets, charming cafes, and beautiful parks. But this photograph reminds us of its past, and the enduring allure of this fascinating city that straddles two continents.
