EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Syrian Turks, a community of Syrian citizens of Turkish descent, in the bustling city of Aleppo, Syria during the 1910s. The Ottoman Empire, which had ruled Syria for centuries, was on the brink of dissolution, and the Syrian Turks, also known as Syrian Turkoman or Syrian Turkmen, continued to thrive as a significant ethnic population within the province. In this image, we see a group of women and children, their backs turned towards the camera, as they carry various household items on their backs. Their traditional clothing, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflects their rich cultural heritage. The women wear long, flowing robes, known as "ferace," and headdresses, while the children are dressed in simple tunics and trousers. The Syrian Turks have a long and complex history, with deep roots in the region. They speak a Turkish dialect and have maintained their unique customs and traditions, despite the political changes that have occurred throughout history. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled Syria for over 400 years, provided a stable environment for the Syrian Turks to flourish, and their presence in the region continues to be an essential part of Syria's rich cultural tapestry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Syrian Turks during a time of significant change, and serves as a reminder of the diverse and complex history of the Middle East. The women and children in this image carry on their backs not only the burden of their daily tasks but also the weight of their cultural heritage, which continues to be passed down through generations.
