EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Constantinople (now Istanbul), the historic heart of the Ottoman Empire. In the image, a team of Turkish porters demonstrate their remarkable strength and skill as they carry a large, bulging barrel on two long yolks through the crowded streets. The barrel, possibly filled with precious olive oil or another valuable commodity, is a testament to the rich agricultural heritage of the region. The porters, dressed in traditional attire, work in unison to balance the heavy load, their faces etched with determination and focus. The onlookers, gathered around, seem to be in awe of their strength and endurance. The scene is a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the Ottoman Empire, a time when human labor was the backbone of commerce and trade. The photograph, taken in the late 1800s, is a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Turkey. The yolks, or wooden poles, are a common sight in Turkish cities even today, used to transport heavy goods through the narrow, winding streets. This photograph is not only a testament to the strength and resilience of the Turkish people but also a reminder of the enduring traditions that have shaped the country's history.
