EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Istanbul's rich history and its significance as a major transportation hub. The image showcases the iconic Orient Express sign standing proudly beside a charming café on the platform of Istanbul Sirkeci Terminal, also known as Sirkeci Station. As one gazes at this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era when train travel was synonymous with adventure and luxury. Sirkeci Terminal, operated by the Turkish State Railways (TCDD), has long served as a vital connection point for international, domestic, and regional trains departing westwards from Istanbul. Its inauguration as the terminus of the legendary Orient Express further solidified its status as an important gateway between Europe and Asia. The juxtaposition of modernity and tradition is evident in this image - towering buildings loom in the background while historic architecture adorns the station itself. This fusion perfectly encapsulates Istanbul's unique blend of East-meets-West culture. John Dakers skillfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also an atmosphere brimming with anticipation and wanderlust. This print serves as a visual invitation to embark on an enchanting journey through Turkey's vibrant cityscape - where centuries-old traditions coexist harmoniously with contemporary urban life.
