EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photo print, titled "FVQ-F-010860-0000" captures a captivating scene along a bustling road near Sraskirat in Istanbul. The image transports us back to the early 20th century, between 1890 and 1910, offering a glimpse into the vibrant urban life of that era. The focal point of the photograph is an array of barbershops lining both sides of the road. These establishments stand as architectural structures amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. Their presence adds character to this lively avenue, serving as hubs for communication and grooming. Intriguingly, various men can be seen engaged in different activities within this street scene. Some are customers patiently waiting for their turn while others sit comfortably on barber chairs, undergoing meticulous grooming rituals. The barbers themselves exhibit skillful gestures as they expertly wield their instruments with precision and care. As we explore further into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that fashion played an essential role during those times. Men don stylish clothing adorned with hats or headdresses that reflect their civilian status or perhaps even military affiliations. Beyond its focus on barbershop culture and fashion trends, this photograph also offers us a panoramic view of Istanbul's evolving cityscape at that time. It provides glimpses into daily life routines while capturing the essence of an ever-changing metropolis. Preserved by P. Z. - Photoglob & Co. , this remarkable print from Alinari allows us to travel through time and immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of Istanbul's past without commercial intentions but rather as a window into history itself.
