EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the daily life of a fresh water seller, or "süpürgeci," in the historic city of Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey. The seller, dressed in a traditional turban and robe, is seen crouching in front of a door way, skillfully pouring crystal clear water into a customer's glass using a traditional jug. The scene takes place on a bustling Turkish street, where the sounds of horse hooves clattering on cobblestones and the chatter of locals fill the air. The Ottoman Empire, which ruled Constantinople for over 400 years until its dissolution in 1922, is brought to life in this photograph. The seller's traditional attire and the intricate details of the door way serve as reminders of the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. The glass, with its ornate designs, adds an elegant touch to the scene, while the vendor's attentive expression and the customer's satisfied smile convey a sense of trust and community. The act of selling and dispensing fresh water was an essential service in Constantinople, especially during the hot summer months when access to clean water was limited. The sellers, who were often members of the Kervansarayi guild, would carry large jugs of water on their backs and sell it to passersby for a small fee. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when daily life was simpler, yet just as vibrant and full of character as it is today.
