EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the entrance to the bustling market of Metelin, a small town located on the eastern coast of Lesbos, Greece, during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of this vibrant community during the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. The market, teeming with activity, is a riot of colors and textures. The cobblestone street, worn smooth by the passage of countless feet, leads us through an archway adorned with intricate Turkish calligraphy. The market stalls, lined with fresh produce, textiles, and household goods, spill out onto the street, creating a sensory feast for the senses. The people in the photograph, dressed in traditional attire, go about their business with a sense of purpose and urgency. Men in long, flowing robes and women in colorful headscarves haggle over prices, while children play nearby, their laughter echoing through the narrow streets. The influence of the Ottoman Empire is evident in the architecture and the people, with the minarets of nearby mosques visible in the background. The Turkish language and customs continue to shape the identity of this Greek community, a testament to the rich cultural tapestry of the region. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the interconnected history of Greece and Turkey, and the enduring influence of the Ottoman Empire on the people and places of Lesbos. It invites us to explore the stories and traditions that have shaped this beautiful and complex corner of the world.
