EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a residential area of Istanbul circa 1920. The image showcases the unique architecture of the city, with houses tightly packed together and steep steps leading up between them. In this snapshot of everyday life, two young boys can be seen laboriously carrying a load between them as they ascend the steps. The composition of the photograph draws our attention to the determination and resilience exhibited by these boys. Their backs are turned towards us, emphasizing their anonymity while also allowing us to focus on their physical exertion. It is evident that these children are accustomed to hard work and have taken on adult responsibilities at an early age. As we contemplate this scene frozen in time, we gain insight into the bustling energy of Istanbul's streets during this era. The architectural details provide a glimpse into the past, while simultaneously reminding us of how cities evolve over time. This archival piece not only captures a specific moment in history but also serves as a testament to human strength and perseverance amidst challenging circumstances. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as urban living, childhood innocence juxtaposed with adult responsibilities, and cultural heritage. Overall, this print offers an intriguing window into Istanbul's rich history while celebrating both its architectural beauty and its resilient inhabitants who shaped its identity.
