EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the Turkish Market at Uskudar (Scutari) in Istanbul during the late 1910s. Located on the Asian side of the city, Uskudar was once an affluent suburb of the Ottoman Empire, renowned for its elegant mosques, palaces, and gardens. The market, with its labyrinthine streets and vibrant stalls, was a hub of local life and commerce. In the center of the image, a fountain stands proudly, its water cascading into a shallow basin, providing relief from the heat and dust of the market. Surrounding the fountain, merchants display their wares on colorful rugs and blankets, selling an array of goods from fresh produce and spices to textiles and ceramics. The crowd of shoppers, dressed in traditional Ottoman attire, haggle over prices and exchange pleasantries with the vendors. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its portrayal of a bygone era, when Istanbul was still under Ottoman rule and the Turkish Market at Uskudar was a thriving center of commerce and community. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the rich cultural heritage and vibrant energy of this iconic marketplace.
