EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-A-004568-0013" captured by the talented Sebah, Pascal from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Istanbul. The image, dating back to around 1870-1875, beautifully captures a vibrant street scene filled with passersby and architectural wonders. As our eyes wander through the frame, we are immediately drawn to the foreground where a shop selling objects made of iron stands proudly. Its intricate displays catch the sunlight and add an element of intrigue to this already enchanting scene. The photograph not only showcases the store itself but also provides us with a glimpse into commerce and trade during that era. It serves as a visual testament to how people engaged in daily activities while going about their business on these lively streets. Moreover, this snapshot offers valuable insights into anthropology and ethnography. We can observe diverse populations represented here - from Arab Berbers to Negroid individuals - highlighting Istanbul's cosmopolitan nature even then. This rich tapestry of different nationalities adds depth and complexity to our understanding of society at that time. Sebah, Pascal's keen eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this historical moment. The composition expertly frames both the shop and its surroundings within one captivating shot. Through his lens, he effortlessly transports us back in time while preserving an important piece of history for generations to come. This remarkable print is not just a mere depiction; it is an invitation for us all to explore and appreciate Istanbul's past through its vibrant streetscapes and diverse communities.
