Travelling Barber, Turkey: A Timeless Tradition in Constantinople (Istanbul) This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, as a travelling barber plys his trade in the bustling streets of Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey. The image, taken in the early 20th century, portrays the barber intently focusing on shaving a customer, using a traditional Turkish shaving bowl and straight razor. The barber wears a worn bib, protecting the customer's clothing from stray hairs and shaving soap. The scene is set against the backdrop of the city's historic architecture, with the minarets of mosques and the labyrinthine alleyways adding to the sense of timelessness. The itinerant barber was a common sight in Turkey and other parts of the Middle East, providing a necessary service to travelers and locals alike. The tradition of the travelling barber dates back to ancient times, with records of barbers practicing their craft in Constantinople as early as the 14th century. The barber's mobile business allowed him to reach customers in remote areas, and his skills were highly valued in a society where personal grooming was an essential aspect of hygiene and social status. Despite the passage of time and the encroachment of modernity, the travelling barber remains a symbol of Turkey's rich history and cultural heritage. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the essence of a tradition that continues to thrive in the heart of Istanbul's vibrant streets.
