Notes
- Description
-
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.
View of a ruined wall in the foreground, a tree-lined stone path leading to a stone building in the middle ground 9perhaps a mosque with a minaret), and 2 cypress trees and hill in the distance.
