EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of itinerant street vendors in Constantinople, Turkey, during the Ottoman Empire era. The photograph features three traders, each expertly balancing their wares on a straw mat, showcasing an array of sponges, figs, and nuts. The sponge seller, with a large basket filled with the porous marine growth, uses a wicket and weights to measure and sell his merchandise. The fig seller, with a basket brimming with ripe figs, uses a set of scales to ensure accurate measurements for his customers. The nut seller, holding a large bag of hazelnuts, uses a simple cloth to scoop and dispense the nuts into small portions. The historical backdrop of the image, with its intricate architectural details and cobblestone streets, transports us back in time to the bustling markets of Constantinople. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and the vibrant trade traditions that have shaped the city's history, now known as Istanbul, Turkey.
