EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Turkish scribe or writer from the Ottoman era in Turkey. The image captures the essence of the "kalem ehli" also known as the people of pen, who played a significant role in shaping Turkish literature and culture. Reverend Henry J. Van Lennep, an esteemed missionary and traveler, captured this moment during his travels through Turkey in 1862. The scribe is depicted wearing traditional costume, immersing us into the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire. His attire reflects not only his profession but also represents a connection to centuries-old traditions that have shaped Turkish society. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the artistry and dedication involved in writing during this period. The intricate details on display highlight both the skill and patience required by these talented individuals. Van Lennep's lens offers us a glimpse into an era when writing was revered as one of humanity's greatest achievements. This image serves as a reminder of how words can shape history and preserve cultural identity. Artokoloro has masterfully preserved this historical gem from their Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to preserving knowledge through their pens.
