Gezicht op Constantinopel 1855 - 1875

This stereoscopic photograph, "Gezicht op Constantinopel," captures a panoramic view of Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) between 1855 and 1875. Created by an anonymous artist, the image showcases the city's bustling harbor, dotted with ships, and a dense cityscape, likely from a high vantage point. The stereoscopic format, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope, enhancing the viewer's immersion in the scene. This work provides a glimpse into the urban landscape of Constantinople during a pivotal period of the Ottoman Empire.
