1866 Coffee Coffeehouse Hearth Served Turbans 1860s Coffeehouses
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1866, captures the essence of a Turkish man preparing coffee in the warmth of his humble abode. The scene unfolds in a quaint Turkish house, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafts through the air. The man, dressed in traditional attire including a turban, leans over the hearth, skillfully pouring the steaming liquid into small, ornate cups. The hearth, the heart of the home, serves as both a source of heat and a place for the preparation of this beloved beverage. Coffeehouses, an integral part of Turkish culture, have long been gathering places for friends and family to socialize and enjoy a cup of the rich, aromatic drink. However, this photograph offers a glimpse into the more intimate and private setting of coffee preparation within the home. The man's focused expression and the tranquil atmosphere of the room convey a sense of leisure and relaxation. The small, intricately designed cups, which are still used in Turkish coffee ceremonies today, add to the visual appeal of the image. The photograph provides a window into the daily life and traditions of the Turkish people during the 1860s, offering a glimpse into the past that continues to captivate and intrigue us today.
