EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, titled "Aynalıçeşme, Water Carrier, Galatasaray, Grande Rue de Pera," transports us back in time to the late 19th century in Istanbul, then known as Constantinople and the imperial capital of the Ottoman Empire. The photograph, taken in 1898 by Max Fruchtermann for Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the daily life of the city's water carriers, or "süpürgüsü," as they are known in Turkish. The scene unfolds on the bustling Grande Rue de Pera, now known as Istiklal Caddesi, the city's most famous shopping street. A water carrier, identified by his traditional red fez and long, white jubba, is shown balancing a large, ornate earthenware jug, or "imam çeşmesi," on his head as he makes his way through the crowd. The intricately designed jug, adorned with blue and gold floral motifs, is a common sight in Ottoman-era Istanbul, and was used to transport water from public fountains to homes and businesses. The photograph also showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city, with the Galatasaray Mosque and its distinctive minarets visible in the background. The mosque, built in the late 14th century, is a testament to the city's diverse cultural history and the harmonious coexistence of different religious communities. This postcard offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire, providing a window into a bygone era and showcasing the city's enduring charm and historical significance.
