EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from the 1920s, we are transported to the bustling heart of a Persian marketplace in the Middle East, as depicted in the cover art for Albert Ketelbey's popular piano composition, "In a Persian Market, Intermezzo Scene." The scene is filled with the vibrant colors and rich textures of the Eastern world, with men and women dressed in traditional garb haggling over goods and merchandise. In the foreground, a veiled woman in a flowing robe leans over a low table, her dark eyes fixed on a customer as she offers him a selection of spices. To her left, a man in a turban sits cross-legged on the ground, smoking a pipe and watching the crowd with a contented expression. In the background, a camel laden with goods is tethered to a post, its hump casting a long shadow on the sun-baked ground. The marketplace is a riot of activity, with merchants calling out their wares, children playing, and the constant hum of conversation and commerce. The yellow and black stripes of a record label peek out from the bottom of the frame, a subtle reminder of the music that brings this scene to life. This evocative image, with its intricate details and rich atmosphere, offers a glimpse into the exotic and alluring world of the Middle East, captured in the golden age of 20th-century music.
