EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, titled 'The Quayside - Izmir, Turkey,' dates back to circa 1904, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant character of the ancient port city of Izmir, then known as Smyrna, in the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by Grenville Collins, showcases the bustling waterfront scene with its picturesque quayside, where the Aegean Sea meets the land. The Quayside is a riot of activity, with mule-drawn carts and trams lining the tramlines, adding to the sense of movement and energy. The Greek and Turkish flags fly proudly from the buildings, reflecting the multicultural heritage of the city. The elegant Belle Epoque-style buildings, with their ornate facades and wrought-iron balconies, add to the European charm of the scene. The view of the port and harbor is dotted with ships, loading and unloading their cargo, while the seafront teems with people and activity. The trams, powered by horses, add a sense of antiquity to the scene, yet they also symbolize the city's modernity and connectivity. This postcard image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a period of great change and transformation in Izmir's history. The Quayside remains a popular tourist destination today, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the city's rich cultural heritage and enduring charm.
