Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. View down a narrow street in Bursa towards a fork in the road, with two-story buildings on either side. Pedestrians and a dog are visible on the street. This photograph was most probably taken in 1895, when William Sachtleben was in Turkey to investigate the disappearance of cyclist Frank Lenz who had last been seen near Erzurum. Notes accompanying negatives indicate that during this trip, Sachtleben was in Bursa and travelled from Trabzon to Erzurum. Sachtleben's 1891 photographs of his bicycle tour across Asia have a circular format. The handwritten list of images may be seen on the image with ark no. 21198/zz002hftdx Caption from list: 2. A [____]ing point in Broussa's strs.
