EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant city of Constantinople in 1853. In this image, we witness a mesmerizing scene of Dervishes, members of a Muslim religious order founded centuries ago, engaging in their sacred ritual. The Dervishes are seen dancing with grace and intensity, completely immersed in their self-induced ecstatic trance as they remember God. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Turkish culture and Islamic traditions during the 19th century. The men's traditional dress and costumes add an element of authenticity to the scene, highlighting their devotion to their faith. As we gaze upon this wood engraving turned into a stunning print, we can't help but be drawn into the spiritual energy emanating from these individuals. Their movements seem almost otherworldly as they transcend earthly boundaries through dance and prayer. This remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into both the religious practices of these devout Muslims and the historical significance of Constantinople at that time. It serves as a reminder that religion has always played an integral role in shaping societies around the world. Through this powerful image by an unknown creator preserved by Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this profound expression of faith within one particular moment in history.
