EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the scene of a North African rabbit seller in the bustling markets of Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul, during the Ottoman Empire. The seller, dressed in traditional attire including a red fez and flowing robes, holds a white rabbit up for inspection, its ears twitching nervously in the seller's hands. A black rabbit peeks out from its hutch, its curious eyes fixed on the potential buyer. The hutch, made of woven bamboo and adorned with intricate patterns, sits at the seller's side. The historical backdrop of Constantinople's vibrant markets is evident in the crowded streets and colorful buildings in the background. The seller's turban and the ornate architecture of the city's mosques and bazaars add to the rich cultural tapestry of this iconic image. The rabbits, prized for their meat and fur, were an essential commodity in the Ottoman Empire's markets, providing sustenance and luxury to the population. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the bustling markets of Constantinople and the daily life of its inhabitants during the Ottoman Empire.
