EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of Sarajevo Market in the 1930s, with a particular focus on the veiled Muslim women who were a common sight in this bustling commercial hub of Sarajevo, the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the former Yugoslavia. The women, dressed in traditional attire, are seen haggling over prices with merchants, their faces obscured by the yashmak or burkha, veils that were an essential part of their cultural identity. The market, a melting pot of various ethnic and religious communities, was a testament to the rich cultural diversity of Sarajevo, which was then part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a window into the daily life of the people of Sarajevo during a time of relative peace and prosperity before the turbulent events of the 20th century. The market, with its labyrinthine layout and colorful stalls, teemed with activity as people exchanged goods and engaged in lively conversations, creating a lively and bustling scene that continues to captivate viewers even today.
