EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1902, showcases a group of Laz men from the Black Sea province of Samsun. The Laz people, also known as the "PredPredictably the Black Sea man, or the 'Laz' as he is called with a mixture of affection and sneer," have long been a fascinating and intriguing subject in Turkish social typology. These men, dressed in their traditional coastal outfits, are a striking representation of the unique culture and history of the region. The Laz men in this photograph are adorned in their distinctive costumes, which include turbans, long coats, and trousers. Some of them carry rifles, adding an air of both tradition and potential danger. Their faces are etched with the marks of time and the elements, reflecting the harsh conditions of life along the coast. The Laz people have a rich and complex history, with some scholars believing they are of Caucasian origin. They have long been associated with the Black Sea region and have maintained their unique language and customs despite centuries of outside influence. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Laz were often portrayed in Turkish literature and art as bandits or rebels, adding to their mystique and intrigue. Despite these stereotypes, the Laz people have made significant contributions to Turkish society in various fields, including music, literature, and art. Today, they continue to preserve their traditions and maintain their distinct identity, making them an important and fascinating part of Turkey's cultural tapestry. This photograph, with its timeless image of these Laz men from Samsun, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich and complex history of the Black Sea region and its people.
