EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled on the picturesque Black Sea coast of north-eastern Turkey, lies the historic city of Trabzon, the capital of Trabzon Province. This enchanting print captures the essence of country life in the region, showcasing a peaceful scene of a local peasant woman skillfully milking her cow against the backdrop of the rolling hills and the tranquil sea. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rural life that has thrived in this area for centuries. Trabzon, also known as Trebizond or Trebizonde, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. It was a significant stop on the historic Silk Road route and during the Ottoman period, its strategic location and bustling port made it a focal point of trade between Iran, India, and the Caucasus. The region's fertile land and abundant resources have long supported a thriving agricultural community, with farming and livestock rearing being the main sources of livelihood for local peasants. The traditional wooden houses, dotted along the hillsides, add to the charm of this rural scene. Their unique trapezium shape, a nod to the city's ancient Greek origins, can be seen throughout Trabzon and its surrounding villages. The simple yet sturdy structures have withstood the test of time, reflecting the resilience and resourcefulness of the people who call this beautiful region home. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich history and enduring traditions that continue to shape the lives of the people of Trabzon. The milking woman, with her strong and steady hands, represents the hardworking spirit of the peasantry that has long defined this region. The road leading to the coast, the rolling hills, and the vast expanse of the sea serve as a testament to the natural beauty and bounty that has made Trabzon a cherished destination for travelers and settlers alike.
