Istanbul Eminönü-Fatih 1918 | Historical City Map

This map titled "Istanbul Eminönü-Fatih, Ayvansaray" was created in 1918 by Necip Bey and is part of a series of maps depicting Istanbul in the late Ottoman period, shortly before the First World War. The composite work measured 118 cm x 106 cm and was printed by the Hölzel Geographical Institute in Vienna.
It highlights the Eminönü-Fatih district, a historically significant area of Istanbul. Streets, neighborhoods, and public squares are meticulously depicted. Key landmarks such as mosques, churches, government buildings, and schools are marked. These structures are of great importance for understanding the sociopolitical and religious landscape of the time. The map also contains detailed depictions of gardens, parks, forests, and bodies of water, which illustrate the balance between city and nature. Ottoman Turkish inscriptions appear throughout the map, documenting Necip Bey's effort to portray the cultural and historical context of the city.

Historical maps show the traces of time and their usage, with these traces appearing to varying degrees and in different ways depending on the map and its use. The print offered is a reproduction.
