EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a Salep Merchant in Thessaloniki, Greece, circa 1916. Thessaloniki, also known as Salonica or Salonika, is a historic city located in the northern part of Greece, with a rich cultural heritage shaped by its Ottoman past. The Salep Merchant is shown in the image, wearing a red fez hat, selling his wares to passersby. Salep is a type of flour made from the tubers of certain orchids, which has been used for centuries in the Middle East and the Balkans to make beverages and desserts. The word "salep" can also refer to the beverage itself, which is often consumed in traditional teacups or from an ewer. The merchant's brazier is set up on the side of the street, with cups and an ewer nearby, indicating that he is ready to prepare and serve the salep beverage to customers. The warm, inviting aroma of the salep would have drawn people to his stand, offering them a taste of the city's history and tradition. This photograph is a reminder of the vibrant street life and rich cultural heritage of Thessaloniki during the early 20th century. The image of the Salep Merchant, with his traditional attire and brazier, is a testament to the enduring influence of the Ottoman Empire on the city's culinary traditions and daily life.
