EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Scene in the Tchartchi, c. 1850" transports us back to a bustling marketplace in Istanbul, Turkey. The image showcases the vibrant daily life scene of this arcaded bazaar, known as the tchartchi. With its pointed arches and vaulted ceiling, the architecture creates an enchanting atmosphere that perfectly complements the energy of trading and commerce taking place within. Traders can be seen engaging in animated conversations with potential buyers, their stalls adorned with colorful fabrics and textiles that catch the eye. The shade provided by the arcade offers respite from the Eastern sun, creating a comfortable space for both sellers and shoppers alike. As we delve into this snapshot of Ottoman Empire history, it becomes evident that this market was not just a place for buying and selling goods but also served as a social hub where people gathered to exchange stories and forge connections. The skillful use of color lithography brings out every intricate detail of this scene captured by William Henry Bartlett. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today. Through this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to another time and place - immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of Turkish culture while marveling at the beauty found within these historic market walls.
