EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the first sighting of the escaped Prince Ahmed Seif ed Din in Constantinople. Taken in the serene garden of Princess Nevjivana's villa, this image showcases Prince Ahmed seated alongside his stepfather, Feridoun Pasha, standing tall beside him. The story behind this extraordinary snapshot is as intriguing as the image itself. After spending an astonishing 24 years detained at Ticehurst Mental Home in Sussex, Prince Ahmed managed to escape and find refuge in Constantinople. This photograph serves as proof of his daring escape and newfound freedom. The monochrome tones lend a timeless quality to this twentieth-century relic, transporting us back to the turbulent era between the wars. It offers a glimpse into European society during the 1920s when political tensions ran high. Preserved by Central News, this rare piece of Europeana photography holds immense historical value. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of both human resilience and the power of documentation to capture pivotal moments that shape our collective narrative
