Through the lens of time, a common thread connects us all: the humble bread seller. From the cobblestone streets of 18th century Ottoman Istanbul to the bustling markets of Baghdad in 1925, these images capture the essence of daily life. Eugene Atget's "Porteuse de pain" (Bread Seller) in late 1800s Paris, CJ de Huyser's Woman of Jeddah selling flatbread in Arabia, and the Hotloaves of London in the early 1800s all tell a story of survival and sustenance. The Bashi-Bazouks and bread sellers of Constantinople in the 19th century add a layer of cultural richness to this timeless scene. These captivating photographs transport us back in time, reminding us of the universal language of food and the enduring spirit of the bread seller.
