EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, showcases the Turkish School at Uskudar, located on the Asian side of the Bosphorus in Istanbul, then known as Constantinople. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the rich history and traditional customs of the Ottoman Empire. The school building, with its large arched windows and intricate architectural details, stands proudly in the background. The pupils, dressed in their uniforms, are seen engaged in their studies, with maps spread out on their desks. Their attire consists of long robes and distinctive hats - the fez for the boys and turbans for the girls, both of which were common elements of Turkish costumes during this period. In the foreground, a military officer, identifiable by his uniform and turban, stands watch over the scene. The presence of the military in the school was not uncommon during the Ottoman era, as education was considered an essential component of military training. This photograph offers a fascinating insight into the world of Turkish education during a time of significant historical change. The Turkish School at Uskudar, with its blend of tradition and modernity, reflects the complex and dynamic nature of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of Turkish history and culture, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our shared heritage. This photograph, with its intricate details and captivating story, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in Turkish history, education, or costume.
