EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Heavy Rains at Constantinople" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century Istanbul, offering a glimpse into a momentous event. The pouring rain has transformed the cityscape into a watery labyrinth, with men and women navigating through flooded streets in their traditional costumes. Amidst this chaotic scene, crowds gather around an important gathering: the reading of the constitution. Published in the Illustrated London News on January 13,1877, this print captures a significant historical moment when people from all walks of life braved heavy rains to hear about their rights and liberties. Children can be seen clinging to their parents' hands as they witness this pivotal event that would shape Turkey's future. The image not only showcases the resilience and determination of its inhabitants but also highlights the unique blend of European and Middle Eastern cultures that define Istanbul. It serves as a reminder of how central Turkey has been throughout history - bridging continents and civilizations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection, we are transported back in time to witness both nature's fury and humanity's unwavering spirit amidst adversity. This engraving is not just an exquisite piece capturing street scenes during heavy rainfall; it encapsulates an era marked by change, hope, and unity within diversity.
