Description: Constantinople / Istanbul - TURKEY - Fountain of Sultan Ahmed: Constantinople remained the most common name for the city in the West until the establishment of the Turkish Republic, and Kostantiniyye was the primary name used by the Ottomans during their rule. Nevertheless, the use of Constantinople to refer to the city during the Ottoman period (from the mid-15th century to 1922 in the aftermath of World War I) is now considered politically incorrect by Turks, even if not historically inaccurate. The Fountain of Sultan Ahmed III (Turkish: III. Ahmet Çeşmesi) is a fountain in a Turkish rococo structure in the great square in front of the Imperial Gate of Topkapı Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built under Ottoman sultan Ahmed III in 1728, in the style of the Tulip period. It was a social centre and gathering place during the Ottoman period of Constantinople. This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition but shows some edge wear. MR C. No. HNUE.
