Hiring a Caique, Constantinople, 1877 - A Glimpse into the Bustling Waterways of Istanbul
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 1877, we are transported back in time to the vibrant city of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul. The scene unfolds on the sparkling waters of the Bosphorus Strait as a party of men and veiled women negotiate the hiring of a caique – a traditional light boat used for transportation. The image captures the essence of daily life in 19th century Istanbul, showcasing both its cultural diversity and bustling maritime activity. Veiled women elegantly clad in hijabs and parasols add an air of mystery to the scene while engaging in negotiations with boatmen dressed in traditional attire. As rowing boats glide through the waterways, passengers eagerly await their turn to embark on these public transports. The caiques themselves stand out against the picturesque backdrop provided by Istanbul's stunning geography – an amalgamation of sea, port, ships, and towering structures that define this historic city. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also offers us insight into Turkey's rich history and its importance as a hub for trade and transport between Europe and Asia. It is truly fascinating how such an ordinary moment captured over a century ago can still evoke curiosity about our shared past.
