EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken around the turn of the 19th century, showcases the ancient aqueduct of Smyrna, now known as Izmir, Turkey. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of this fascinating city. Smyrna, an ancient Greek colony founded in the 7th century BC, has a long and complex history, with various civilizations leaving their mark on the land. The Romans, in particular, made significant contributions to the city's infrastructure, constructing this impressive aqueduct to bring water from distant sources to the urban center. The aqueduct, a marvel of engineering, is depicted in this photograph as a grand, arched structure, standing proudly against the backdrop of the urban landscape. The intricately designed arches, some of which date back nearly 2,000 years, have weathered the test of time, bearing witness to the city's enduring history. The photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, with traditional Turkish houses lining the streets, their rooftops adorned with colorful terracotta tiles. The image also reveals the vibrant urban life of the time, with people going about their daily routines, horses and carriages making their way through the bustling streets, and children playing in the foreground. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of Izmir, a city that has been shaped by the influences of various civilizations throughout history. It invites us to explore the city's fascinating past and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of its ancient landmarks.
