Issue 51 highlights:
In part two of our Istanbul quartet, a special 192-page issue, we celebrate the European city – the old diplomatic and banking districts – and the new Western imperial city built by the sultans in the 19th century on the shores of the Lower Bosphorus and up in the hills. Articles by David Barchard, Norman Stone, Andrew Finkel and Jason Goodwin, Emre Arac? and Thomas Roueché, along with invaluable contributions from Tim Cornwell, Malika Browne, Victoria Khroundina and the historian Burak Çetinta?, reveal the story and magic of Beyo?lu, the old docklands of Galata, Dolmabahçe, the smart old quarters of Ni?anta??, the earthy world of Be?ikta? and the waterside world of Ortaköy. Cornucopia 51 brings together a feast of photography by Jürgen Frank, Fritz von der Schulenburg, Brian McKee, Magnus Bischofberger, Berrin Torolsan and the great Beyo?lu 20th-century photographer Selahatt?n Giz, whose self-portrait (with friends) graces the cover.

Published twice a year, Cornucopia is the magazine for connoisseurs of Turkey. This independent publication – gorgeous enough for the coffee table, serious enough to be found in academic libraries – is an ever-growing compendium of all things Turkish: history, culture, art, food, travel.

The arbiter of taste Tyler Brûlé has called Cornucopia in the FT ‘a cross between The World of Interiors and National Geographic, with a gentle Turkic twist’. For The New York Review of Magazines, ‘It’s a truism that the measure of a travel magazine’s success is whether it makes you yearn to visit the destinations it depicts. Cornucopia goes one better. It is a vacation in itself.’ For the blog Quintessence, ‘Cornucopia is indeed an apt name for this publication of plenty, overflowing with Turkish beauty, inspiration and edification.’
