EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time, as officers of the Regiment of Lancers of the Imperial Guard, Constantinople, Turkey, are seen gathered at the Selimiye barracks in 1913. The image presents a striking tableau of military grandeur and tradition, with the officers, dressed in their ornate and intricately designed uniforms, standing proudly atop their horses. The uniforms, a blend of Turkish and European influences, feature distinctive elements such as red fez-like caps, gold braid, and decorative sashes. The Selimiye barracks, an imposing stone building with tall arches and intricate tilework, serves as the backdrop to this scene. The barracks, named after Sultan Selim II, have been a symbol of the Ottoman military might for centuries. The officers, with their stern expressions and regal bearing, exude an air of authority and discipline. The Regiment of Lancers, an elite unit of the Imperial Guard, was an integral part of the Ottoman army during the early 20th century. The regiment was known for its skill and bravery in battle, and its members were highly respected within the military hierarchy. The photograph captures a sense of camaraderie and unity among the officers, as they prepare for a parade or inspection. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when Constantinople (now Istanbul) was the cultural and political center of the Ottoman Empire. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Ottoman military, and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Regiment of Lancers of the Imperial Guard.
