EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Turkish Barber" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into Turkish culture and traditions. The image showcases an English School's interpretation of a bustling barber shop in central Turkey. In this lively scene, we witness a skilled Turkish barber meticulously attending to his client's grooming needs. With focused precision, he expertly shaves off every strand of hair, showcasing the artistry that lies within this ancient profession. The print beautifully captures the essence of Turkish culture with its ornate decorations adorning the walls and traditional attire worn by both the barber and his customer. It serves as a testament to the rich history and heritage that permeates through every aspect of life in Turkey. As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that it not only represents Turkish customs but also highlights Europe's fascination with Eastern cultures during that era. This cross-cultural exchange is further emphasized by Edwin Hopper's inclusion of this illustration in his book "The World its Cities and Peoples" which aimed to educate readers about different societies around the globe. Through Bridgeman Images' reproduction of this historical engraving, viewers are transported back in time to experience firsthand the vibrant atmosphere of a Turkish barbershop - an exquisite fusion between European curiosity and Middle Eastern tradition.
