EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, a Turkish basketmaker from Diarbekir, Turkey, is intently focused on his craft, weaving a intricate basket from locally sourced reeds. The town of Diarbekir, located in the Kurdistan Highlands on the banks of the Tigris River, is the largest settlement in the region and has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The basketmaker, dressed in traditional trousers and a striped shirt, is surrounded by the tools of his trade and the raw materials for his baskets. The historical significance of basket making in Diarbekir dates back to at least the 13th century, with the town being a major center for the production and trade of these woven containers. The Tigris River, which flows through the town, has provided the necessary water and resources for the production of reeds, making basket making a vital industry for the local economy. The baskets were used for various purposes, including carrying goods for trade along the highway between Baghdad and Constantinople. This photograph, taken in 1922, captures a moment in time when traditional crafts like basket making were still an integral part of daily life in Diarbekir. The image not only showcases the skill and dedication of the basketmaker, but also highlights the historical and cultural significance of this craft in the region. The strikingly beautiful landscape of the Kurdistan Highlands, with its rugged terrain and rolling hills, serves as a fitting backdrop to this scene of simple yet profound human endeavor.
