EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving by Lemaitre, published in the 1840 edition of "Historia de Turquia" by Jouannin and Van Gaver, offers a captivating glimpse into the bustling bazaar of Constantinople during the Ottoman Empire era. The image transports us back in time to an era of vibrant commercial activity, where merchants and consumers came together in a covered marketplace, enclosed by intricately designed arches and domes. The bazaar, a hub of commerce and consumerism, teems with activity. People of all walks of life, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, move about the marketplace, haggling over the price of carpets, clothing, and other goods. A merchant sits atop a horse, surveying his stall filled with colorful kilims and other textiles, while shoppers examine the merchandise with great interest. The interior of the bazaar is a feast for the senses. The aroma of spices and freshly baked bread wafts through the air, mingling with the sounds of horse hooves on the cobblestone streets and the lively chatter of the crowd. The engraving beautifully captures the rich history and cultural traditions of Constantinople, which is today known as Istanbul. This image, a testament to the commercial and social customs of the Ottoman Empire, provides a fascinating window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the daily life of a bustling marketplace and the vibrant society that thrived within its walls.
