EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print depicts the Small Bridge, or Kutchuk Tchekmedje, in Istanbul, Turkey, during the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The bridge, built in 1831, spans the picturesque Lake Kutahya, located at the entrance to the Marmara Sea. The intricate design of the bridge, with its ornate railings, arches, and fence, is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire. In the foreground, a camel and its handler can be seen, adding a sense of authenticity and connection to the past. The bridge serves as a vital connection between the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, reflecting the city's unique position as a cultural and commercial hub. The perspective of the print, with its panoramic view of the bridge and the lake, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Istanbul society during this period. People can be seen going about their business, while the security of the bridge is ensured by the presence of guards and a ramp leading up to the bridge. The slope of the bridge, with its gentle incline, adds to the sense of tranquility and serenity, making it an idyllic setting for travelers and locals alike. The engraving, created by Lemaitre, Vormser, and Lepetit, was published in the book "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver in 1840. This beautiful and intricate print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the Ottoman Empire and the stunning city of Istanbul.
