EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving, created by Lemaitre, Vormser, and Cholet, transports us back in time to the Ottoman Empire period, specifically to the Caravanserai in Burgas, now part of Bulgaria. The image captures the courtyard of this ancient inn, a vital resting place for weary travelers and their animals on long journeys along the Turkish coast. The Caravanserai, an essential component of the Ottoman economy, facilitated commerce between the East and the West. The arcaded courtyard, with its eaves providing shelter from the sun and rain, offered a breather for men and their camels or other animals. The minaret in the background, a distinctive feature of Islamic architecture, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The intricate design of the Caravanserai is evident in the details of the kiosks, porches, and arches. The travelers, depicted in the courtyard, engage in various activities, perhaps exchanging goods or simply resting and socializing. The caravanserai's role as a roadside inn was crucial for the movement of people and goods during the Ottoman dominion. The engraving, taken from the 1840 publication "Historia de Turquia" by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich history and culture of the Ottoman Empire.
