EDITORS COMMENTS
Seldom does one stumble upon a scene as enchanting as this narrow backstreet view of Ankara, the historic capital city of Turkey. The photograph, captured in 1929, transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the rich history and culture that lies within its walls. The cobblestone street, worn and baked by the passage of time, winds its way through the heart of the city. The red clay underfoot, a testament to the city's ancient origins, is dotted with the distinctive cumbas - traditional Turkish ovens used for baking bread and other delicacies. Ankara, a city steeped in history, is home to many historical sites, including the Mausoleum of Ataturk, the Ankara Castle, and the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations. Yet, it is in the backstreets, away from the bustling tourist areas, where the true essence of the city can be found. The walls of the buildings, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, tell stories of a bygone era. The shuttered windows, draped with faded curtains, hint at the daily life of the residents. The cumbas, a symbol of Turkish tradition, add a touch of warmth and authenticity to the scene. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the beauty and complexity of the world around us. The narrow backstreets of Ankara, with their rich history and unique character, offer a glimpse into a past that continues to shape the present. This image, a treasure from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, is a reminder of the importance of preserving the past, while embracing the ever-changing world around us.
