EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1900, depicts a scene of Turkish porters in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey, demonstrating their remarkable strength and endurance as they carry a large, bulging olive barrel on two long yolks. The barrel, which appears to be made of sturdy wood and tightly sealed, may have contained precious olive oil, a valuable commodity during the Ottoman Empire. The porters, dressed in traditional clothing, are shown making their way through a bustling crowd, their faces focused intently on the task at hand. The onlookers, a mix of men, women, and children, gather around, their expressions a blend of awe and admiration as they watch the porters navigate the narrow streets with their heavy load. The use of yolks as a means of transportation was a common practice in Constantinople during this time, allowing porters to maneuver large and heavy loads more easily through the city's winding streets. The strength and skill of the Turkish porters were a source of fascination for travelers and residents alike, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Ottoman Empire during a time of great change. The photograph's timeless quality and the sense of history it evokes make it a captivating addition to any collection, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the remarkable feats of strength and endurance that have shaped human history.
