EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cooking Fish on Boats at the Galata Bridge, Istanbul, Turkey" captures a vibrant scene from the 20th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is CM Dixon, whose talent beautifully portrays the essence of life in Istanbul during that era. The Galata Bridge stands proudly over the Golden Horn, an important waterway that serves as a primary inlet for the Bosphorus. It symbolizes the connection between traditional Istanbul and neighboring districts like Galata, Beyoglu, Sisli, and Harbiye - areas where non-Muslim inhabitants and foreign merchants thrived. In this image, we witness a bustling community engaged in their local industry of fishing. Men can be seen cooking fish on open fires aboard their boats under the night sky. The aroma of freshly cooked seafood fills the air as they skillfully prepare their catch for eager customers. Istanbul's geographical features come to life through this photograph; its lanes and avenues are alive with activity as people go about their daily lives. The strait of Bosphorus acts as both a natural barrier and a vital transportation route connecting different parts of this magnificent city. CM Dixon's work transports us back in time to experience not only the sights but also the sounds and smells of historic Istanbul. This print is more than just art; it is an invitation to explore Turkish culture through its rich culinary traditions intertwined with its unique geography.
