EDITORS COMMENTS
Travelling Barbers at Work - Mersin, circa 1909: A captivating snapshot of daily life in Mersin, Turkey, circa 1909, as itinerant barbers ply their trade on the bustling streets. In this evocative image, a barber skillfully shaves a customer's beard, while another attends to another client, who sits patiently with a towel draped around his shoulders. The barbers' tools of the trade are spread out on a makeshift table, including straight razors, brushes, and a mirror. The scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, as men gather to socialize and receive their weekly shaves. The atmosphere is lively and convivial, with passersby peering in to observe the proceedings. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the traditional practice of travelling barbers and the essential role they played in the daily lives of men in this Turkish city over a century ago." "The itinerant barbers, with their portable equipment, were a common sight on the streets of Mersin and other Turkish cities during the early 20th century. They provided an affordable and convenient service for men who did not have the means to visit a fixed barber shop. The travelling barbers would set up their makeshift shops in public areas, such as streets, markets, or parks, and would attract customers with their skill and friendly demeanor. This photograph captures the essence of their work and the unique connection they had with their clients, providing a valuable record of a bygone era." "The image is a testament to the enduring tradition of barbering and the importance of personal grooming in Turkish culture. It also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Mersin during a time of great change, as the city was transforming from a small Ottoman town into a modern Turkish metropolis. The travelling barbers and their customers are a reminder of the rich history and vibrant culture of Mersin and its people.
