EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the enigmatic allure of the Turkish Sultana and the mesmerizing performance of the Howling Dervish in the mystical lands of the Middle East during the 1840s. The Turkish Sultana, an embodiment of Eastern beauty and elegance, is depicted in a vibrant red and blue costume adorned with intricate floral patterns. She wears a pointed hat, a symbol of her high status, and holds a knife, a traditional accessory for Turkish women of the time. Her serene expression and regal posture exude an air of confidence and sophistication. In stark contrast, the Howling Dervish, a member of the Sufi order, is shown in the throes of spiritual ecstasy. His wild, frenzied dance is a testament to the intense devotion and passion that characterizes the Sufi tradition. The Dervish's blue and white costume, with its distinctive conical hat and long, flowing sleeves, is a hallmark of his order. His face is contorted in a howl of ecstasy, his eyes closed in rapture, as he spins in a dizzying circle. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, transports us to a time and place far removed from our modern world. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Turkey and the Middle East, a region steeped in history, tradition, and mysticism. The Turkish Sultana and the Howling Dervish, two iconic figures of this fascinating part of the world, continue to captivate and inspire us, even as the sands of time continue to shift.
