Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. View of Boyd & his guide seated on the grass on a gentle slope near a bridge (probably the Merab Kufrü bridge in or near Bursa). 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: 11. Boyd & his guide near bridge [caption probably corresponds to this image]
