EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning postcard image captures the breathtaking beauty of the Hamidie Fountain in Tophane, Istanbul, during the Ottoman Empire era. The photograph, taken in 1905, showcases the intricate details of this architectural marvel, which was built to commemorate Sultan Abdul Hamid II's mother, Gülbahar Kadin, in 1898. Located in the Beyoğlu district of Istanbul, formerly known as Constantinople, the Hamidie Fountain is a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture and engineering. The fountain's design is a harmonious blend of Islamic and European architectural influences, with its ornate tiles, intricate calligraphy, and grand arches. The image also provides a glimpse into the bustling activity of the area during the early 1900s. People can be seen gathered around the fountain, some taking a moment to fill their water jugs, while others go about their daily business. The vibrant colors of the buildings and the clear blue sky add to the overall charm of the scene. Max Fruchtermann, the photographer, expertly captures the essence of this iconic landmark, which continues to be a popular tourist destination and a source of pride for the people of Istanbul. This postcard is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and serves as a reminder of the beauty and grandeur that once was.
