The Crimean Church, Constantinople, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph by British photographer C.M. Clode, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper" in 1890. The image captures the exterior of the Crimea Memorial Church, also known as the Church of St. George, located in the heart of Istanbul, Turkey, then part of the Ottoman Empire. Built in the late 19th century as a memorial to British soldiers who died during the Crimean War (1853-1856), the church is a striking example of Neo-Gothic and Victorian architecture. Its imposing structure, with its pointed arches, intricate stonework, and tall spire, stands out against the backdrop of the bustling city. The photograph not only showcases the architectural beauty of the church but also captures the activity of the surrounding area. People can be seen going about their daily business in the foreground, adding a sense of life and energy to the scene. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of the late 19th century. The interior of the church, with its high vaulted ceilings, ornate stained glass windows, and intricate carvings, is equally impressive. However, Clode's photograph focuses on the exterior, inviting viewers to imagine the grandeur and majesty that lies within. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of architecture to inspire and captivate, as well as to the role of the press in documenting and preserving history. Today, the Crimea Memorial Church remains an important landmark in Istanbul, a reminder of the past and a symbol of the enduring ties between Turkey and Britain.
