EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Bosphorous, Opposite The Genoese Castle" takes us on a journey back in time to 19th century Turkey. Engraved by E. Benjamin after W. H. Bartlett, this stunning illustration beautifully captures the essence of Istanbul's iconic Bosphorus Strait. In the foreground, majestic horses gracefully gallop along the shoreline, adding a touch of movement and life to the scene. As our gaze extends into the distance, we are met with breathtaking views of mountains that frame the tranquil sea. The ruins of the Genoese Castle stand proudly on both sides of the strait - one in Europe and another in Asia - symbolizing Istanbul's rich historical heritage as Constantinople. These ancient structures serve as a reminder of past civilizations that once thrived here. Steel boats dotting the waterway hint at bustling maritime activity while also providing scale to appreciate the vastness of this natural wonder. The Giants Grave looms mysteriously in its surroundings, further igniting our curiosity about its origins. Ken Welsh's artistry shines through his meticulous engraving technique, capturing every intricate detail with precision and elegance. This old-world charm is enhanced by his choice to present it in classic black and white tones. "The Bosphorous, Opposite The Genoese Castle" is not just an art piece but a window into history; it invites us to immerse ourselves in Istanbul's enchanting past and marvel at its timeless beauty.
