EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the anticipation and grandeur of the Opening of the Turkish Parliament in the early 20th century. The image focuses on the ornate chamber of the Parliament, with its high ceilings, intricate decorations, and large windows letting in natural light. At the back center, an empty throne, or 'box,' waits for the arrival of the Sultan, the monarch of the Ottoman Empire at the time. The Sultan was a crucial figure in the political process, and his presence was essential for the proceedings to commence. The balcony on the upper right of the photograph is filled with an esteemed group of observers. They represent the diplomatic corps from various countries, who have gathered to witness this significant event. The diplomats, dressed in their formal attire, display a sense of respect and admiration for the ceremonial proceedings. Their presence underscores the international significance of the Turkish Parliament and the Ottoman Empire. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Turkish politics and diplomacy. It is a testament to the grandeur and tradition that once characterized the Ottoman Empire and its institutions. The image also highlights the importance of diplomacy and international relations, which continue to play a crucial role in shaping the world we live in today.
