EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1862, capturing a mesmerizing moment in time. The subject of the photograph is an Armenian piper, a man hailing from Armenia who embarked on a remarkable journey through Turkey. Reverend Henry J. Van Lennep, an esteemed missionary and keen observer of his surroundings, was behind this extraordinary documentation. Van Lennep's experiences as a missionary in Smyrna (Izmir), Constantinople (Istanbul), and Tokat provided him with unique insights into the diverse cultures and traditions of the region. This particular image showcases the rich heritage of Armenia, as depicted by this proud piper dressed in traditional attire. The man exudes both grace and strength as he skillfully plays his bagpipe, creating enchanting melodies that resonate with centuries-old stories and emotions. His presence transports us to another era when music served as a universal language connecting people across borders. Through this evocative snapshot, we catch a glimpse of Ottoman society during its heyday - vibrant, multicultural, and steeped in history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political boundaries and cultural differences, art has always had the power to bridge divides. Artokoloro's preservation of this historical gem ensures that future generations can appreciate not only Rev. Van Lennep's invaluable contributions but also celebrate the beauty found within different cultures around the world.
