This photograph, titled "General View of Smyrna, 1880s" transports us back to the enchanting streets of Smyrna (now Izmir), Turkey in the late 19th century. The creator of this mesmerizing image remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The scene captured here showcases a sprawling townscape with countless rooftops stretching as far as the eye can see. Each rooftop tells a story, revealing glimpses into the lives and homes of the people who once inhabited this bustling metropolis.
