Product Description
Metin And is an Istanbulite who admires Istanbul. Having left at a young age and returned only for brief visits, he has paid his debt to this city by depicting it in its most glorious century. "Istanbul in the 16th Century" is a book largely informative, entertaining, and equipped with "picture readings" suitable for comparing the past with the present. In essence, it is a grand panorama of Istanbul drawn by foreign pens and brushes. Looking at this panorama, you see Istanbul divided into sections such as "City - Palace - Daily Life." Each section is presented with pictures appropriate to its character and explanations regarding what is seen in the pictures, and Istanbul is depicted as a "lush, peaceful, socially harmonious" city. "Istanbul in the 16th Century" is essentially a guide, a handbook that will help us get to know and love this great city, answer many questions we wonder about, enable us to recognize Byzantine and Ottoman monuments, whose names exist but whose physical presence is gone or only traces remain, through their old drawings, and show us what remains looked like in the past...
