EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of two intrepid chicken sellers in the bustling markets of Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul, Turkey. Dressed in traditional Ottoman attire, the women exude a sense of determination and resilience as they proudly display their prized poultry. The vibrant green of their dresses contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the baskets and cages, filled with live chickens, carefully arranged for sale. The historical significance of this photograph lies in its ability to transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Constantinople during the Ottoman Empire. The city, once the heart of the Byzantine and Roman empires, was a melting pot of diverse cultures and traditions. These women, with their strong posture and unwavering gaze, embody the spirit of entrepreneurship and survival that thrived in this cosmopolitan metropolis. The chickens, with their curious expressions and alert posture, seem to be aware of the exchange happening around them. The cages and baskets, which have been used for centuries to transport and sell poultry, add to the authenticity of the scene. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Istanbul, a city that continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
