EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the customary greeting in Turkey back in 1907. The image depicts two Turkish men elegantly dressed in traditional attire, engaging in a polite exchange with a salute. The phrase "Sabah-I Sherifler, Khair Olsoon?" or "Sabah al Khair" (Good Morning) is printed here, written in Arabic script. Part of the esteemed Greetings of the World series of cigarette cards produced by Hignett Bros. Imperial Tobacco Company, this vintage card holds historical significance and cultural value. It offers us a glimpse into the rich traditions and etiquette observed during that era. The photograph exudes an air of formality and respect as these gentlemen adhere to their customs while exchanging greetings. Their hands raised gracefully towards each other convey both warmth and reverence for one another's presence. With its vibrant colors brought to life through lithography techniques, this artwork showcases the beauty and elegance of Turkish culture at that time. From their intricately designed turbans to their impeccable manners, every detail speaks volumes about the importance placed on tradition and honor within Ottoman society. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder of how gestures can transcend time and language barriers – reminding us all that politeness knows no bounds.
