EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Istanbul, circa 1960. As the capital of Turkey, this old walled town stands proudly on the banks of the Bosphorus River, offering a breathtaking view towards the Golden Horn. What makes Istanbul truly unique is its distinction as the only city in the world built across two continents; Europe and Asia. In this mesmerizing landscape shot by George Pickow, we are transported to an era where simplicity and elegance coexist harmoniously. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the architectural marvels that define this ancient city. The fortified walls surrounding Istanbul evoke a sense of strength and resilience, reminding us of its rich history. The image showcases not only a city but also a cultural melting pot where East meets West. It captures both traditional Turkish homes and stunning churches that dot the skyline, showcasing Istanbul's diverse heritage. As we delve into this archival piece from Fine Art Storehouse, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates artistry within its monochromatic tones. This photograph serves as a testament to George Pickow's talent for capturing moments frozen in time. Whether you have an affinity for architecture or simply admire historical gems like Istanbul, this print will undoubtedly transport you back to an enchanting period in Turkey's past.
