EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard image, dated 1898, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Istanbul, Constantinople, during the Ottoman Empire. The scene unfolds at the entrance of a Mevlevi Dervish lodge, where a porter, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, stands ready to assist visitors. In the foreground, an itinerant apple seller hawks his fresh produce to passersby, his basket brimming with ripe, juicy apples. In the background, the iconic Mevlevi Dervishes perform their mesmerizing Sama ritual, a sacred dance that represents the journey of the soul to the divine. The dervishes, dressed in flowing white robes and tall, conical hats, whirl in a trance-like state, their arms outstretched, creating a hypnotic spectacle. The Mevlevi Order, also known as the Order of the Whirling Dervishes, was founded in the 13th century and is renowned for its spiritual practices and music. The Sama ceremony is a central part of their tradition, symbolizing the shedding of worldly desires and the attainment of spiritual enlightenment. The porter, a common sight in Istanbul's streets, played a crucial role in the city's daily life, helping visitors navigate its labyrinthine alleys and carrying their belongings. His presence adds to the authenticity of this evocative scene, which captures the rich cultural heritage and vibrant street life of Istanbul during the late Ottoman era.
