EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Laz men, a historically indigenous people of the Black Sea coast in Turkey, circa 1908. The Laz, also referred to as the "Predictably Black Sea Man" or simply "Laz," have long been a fascinating and complex figure in Turkish social typology. With a mix of affection and sneer, they have been variously described as brigands, bandits, militia, and even as the last vestiges of the Ottoman military tradition. In this image, the Laz men are seen armed and dressed in traditional outfits, with rifles slung over their shoulders and ammunition belts around their waists. Their stern expressions and serious demeanor suggest a readiness for action, while their traditional costumes, with their distinctive wide-brimmed hats and long coats, hint at a rich cultural heritage. The Laz people have long been associated with the Black Sea coast of Turkey, particularly in the province of Rize. Historically, they have been known for their maritime skills and their role as intermediaries between the Turkish heartland and the Black Sea region. However, their reputation as armed groups and their perceived lawlessness have also made them a subject of fascination and sometimes fear for outsiders. Despite their complex history and often ambiguous status, the Laz people continue to be an integral part of the cultural fabric of Turkey. This photograph offers a glimpse into their past, capturing a moment in time when the Laz were still a visible and powerful presence on the Black Sea coast.
