EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print transports us to the mesmerizing world of whirling dervishes in Constantinople, Turkey. The image, captured by renowned photographers Sebah & Joaillier, showcases a group of men dressed in traditional costumes as they engage in their enchanting dance. The whirling dervishes are seen gracefully spinning and twirling with outstretched arms, creating an ethereal spectacle that embodies both spiritual devotion and artistic expression. Their vibrant attire adds a splash of color to the scene, further enhancing the visual impact. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers a glimpse into Turkish culture and Islamic traditions. The dervishes' dance is deeply rooted in Sufism, a mystical branch of Islam that seeks union with the divine through ecstatic rituals. As we immerse ourselves in this image, we can almost hear the rhythmic beats of music accompanying their movements and feel the energy emanating from their passionate performance.

It is truly an evocative snapshot that encapsulates centuries-old choreography within its frame. Intriguingly beautiful yet culturally significant, this print invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also delve deeper into understanding the rich tapestry that makes
