Capturing the ethereal beauty of Scutari's cemetery, this vintage print transports us back to a bygone era. Entitled 'Avenue of Cypress Trees in the Cemetery of Scutari, ' it offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the non-Christian funerary traditions and architectural marvels that once graced this sacred space. The photograph was taken between 1900-1910, showcasing an exquisite blend of tomb structures and lush vegetation. In this portrait, a group of elegantly dressed individuals stands amidst the towering cypress trees. Their traditional attire reflects both their European origins and the fashion trends prevalent during that time period. Each figure exudes an air of solemnity, paying homage to their departed loved ones with grace and dignity. The prominence of cypress trees adds depth and symbolism to the composition. Known for their association with mourning and eternal life, these majestic evergreens create a serene atmosphere within the cemetery grounds. As we gaze upon this scene from Turkey's past, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its cultural diversity. Photographed by P.
