Antioch Arab Barber Customers Shaving Suburb Toilet

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a group of Arab barbers are seen providing shaving services to their Turkish customers in the open air of a suburb in Antioch, Turkey, during the 1930s. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as men gather together to have their beards and mustaches trimmed and shaped. The barbers work in a makeshift setting, with a simple wooden bench and a basin of water serving as their tools. The customers, some wearing traditional Turkish attire, sit patiently as their turns come up. In the background, a few onlookers observe the scene, adding to the bustling atmosphere. The open-air setting, with the sun casting long shadows and the sound of conversation and laughter filling the air, creates a sense of tranquility and relaxation. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the community in this suburb of Antioch during a bygone era, highlighting the shared traditions and cultural connections between the Arab and Turkish peoples. The simple act of shaving takes on a deeper meaning, becoming a symbol of community, friendship, and the passing of time.
