EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the Sunday Market in Tbilisi, the historic and culturally rich capital city of Georgia. Established in the early 20th century, the market has long been a vibrant gathering place for locals and travelers alike, reflecting the city's unique position at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. Once known as Tiflis, Tbilisi has a rich and complex history, having been ruled by various empires and powers throughout the centuries. The city's strategic location along the historic Silk Road routes made it a valuable prize, leading to numerous invasions and occupations. In this image, taken in 1903, we see a lively scene of people haggling over goods, children playing, and vendors displaying their wares. The market's colorful stalls offer a tantalizing array of fresh produce, textiles, spices, and other local specialties. The warm sunlight filters through the market canopy, casting a golden glow over the scene. Despite the passage of time, the Sunday Market in Tbilisi remains a beloved institution, a testament to the city's resilient spirit and enduring cultural traditions. Today, visitors can still experience the same sense of excitement and discovery that drew travelers to Tbilisi more than a century ago.
