EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "House near Ayundun, c1906-1913" by Mark Sykes, takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a timber building supported by sturdy stone piers, possibly designed to deter rodents from entering. The photograph was taken during Sykes' journey through Turkey as documented in his book, "The Caliphs Last Heritage: A Short History of the Turkish Empire". In this particular chapter, he describes his horseback ride from Istifan to Ayundun, a picturesque village nestled within a deep valley. As we gaze at the image, we are transported to this remote location in the Middle East. The architectural features of the house reflect both functionality and simplicity. Its wooden structure harmoniously blends with its natural surroundings while standing strong on its stone foundation. Sykes' photograph not only captures an architectural marvel but also serves as a window into history. It allows us to appreciate the ingenuity of design that prevailed during that era and offers insight into life in rural Turkey at that time. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print is truly a testament to Mark Sykes' keen eye for detail and his ability to capture moments frozen in time.
