EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Oriental Beauties Visiting Smyrna" and dated 1903, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of the Ottoman Empire through the image of two elegantly dressed women enjoying a leisurely moment in the city of Smyrna, now known as Izmir, in modern-day Turkey. The women, adorned in exotic Eastern costumes, recline on a plush divan, their eyes closed in contentment as they share a hookah pipe. The smoky haze that surrounds them adds an air of mystery and allure. The setting of the photograph is a traditional Turkish divan, a low table with cushions used for sitting and relaxing. The women's attire is reminiscent of the opulent costumes worn by the harem ladies of the Ottoman Empire, with their long, flowing robes and intricate embroidery. The use of the hookah pipe, a popular Middle Eastern smoking apparatus, further emphasizes the Eastern theme of the photograph. Smyrna, an important port city on the western coast of Anatolia, was a melting pot of diverse cultures during the Ottoman Empire. The city was known for its cosmopolitan population, with a significant Greek, Armenian, and Jewish community living alongside the Turkish residents. This photograph captures the beauty and diversity of the city and its people during a time of great cultural richness and historical significance. The photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the Eastern world and the fascination it held for Western travelers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It invites us to imagine a world of exotic beauty, leisurely pleasures, and cultural exchange, and serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of the Ottoman Empire and the city of Smyrna.
