EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Istanbul's Grand Bazaar, a historic covered market in the heart of the city, in 1927. The Grand Bazaar, also known as the Souk-i-Gedid or the New Bazaar, is one of the oldest and largest markets in the world, with a rich history dating back to the Ottoman Empire. The photograph, taken by Max Fruchtermann, showcases the labyrinthine network of narrow corridors filled with colorful stalls selling an array of goods, from textiles and spices to jewelry and ceramics. The arches of the bazaar's vaulted ceilings are illuminated by shafts of natural light filtering through the skylights, creating a dramatic and atmospheric effect. The contrast between the dark, shadowy corners and the brightly lit stalls adds depth and intrigue to the scene. The shopkeepers, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, can be seen engaging with customers, haggling over prices, and displaying their wares. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling commercial life of Istanbul during the early 20th century. The Grand Bazaar has been a popular destination for travelers and tourists for centuries, and this photograph captures the enduring allure of this iconic marketplace. The photograph's timeless quality and the rich history of the Grand Bazaar make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire.
