EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1905, showcases a renowned dolma maker, a master of the traditional Ottoman art of stuffed vegetables. The historic city of Constantinople, once the heart of the Ottoman Empire, is known for its rich culinary heritage, and dolma holds a special place in its gastronomic history. The maker, dressed in a uniform of white shirt, trousers, and a toque, wears an eccentric ensemble of a monocle, a chain around his neck, and a fob watch at his waist. His hands, adorned with gloves, are delicately wrapping vine leaves around a mound of stuffed vegetables, ready to be placed on the ornate, vege table. The platter, adorned with intricate designs, is filled with an assortment of dolma, some with meat and some without. The stuffing, a family secret, may or may not include meat, making this dish a versatile one. Meat dolma, served warm with sauce, are a favorite among the locals, while meatless ones, served cold, are enjoyed both ways in Iran. The maker's expression, a mix of concentration and pride, speaks volumes about the importance of this dish in Turkish and Ottoman history. The surroundings of the photograph are equally intriguing, with the vibrant colors of the carpet and the historical backdrop of Constantinople adding to the overall charm of the scene. The maker's hands, wrapped in white cloth, move with practiced ease, as he continues to create these delicious, stuffed delicacies, preserving a tradition that has been passed down through generations.
