EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1870, depicts a scene of everyday life in Turkey during the late 19th century. The image captures a group of veiled women seated in a bullock-drawn carriage, making their way through the picturesque streets of an unidentified Turkish town. The women, dressed in traditional attire and veils, appear to be deep in conversation, their faces expressing a sense of camaraderie and connection. The bullock, harnessed to the carriage, looks strong and determined, its eyes fixed on the road ahead. The carriage itself is simple yet functional, with wooden wheels and a canvas top that provides some shelter from the elements. The women's attire, with their long, flowing robes and intricate head coverings, contrasts starkly with the rugged terrain and the raw power of the animal pulling the carriage. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of Turkish women during a time of great cultural and historical change. The use of bullock-drawn carriages was a common mode of transportation in rural areas of Turkey, and this image serves as a reminder of the importance of animals in transportation before the advent of motorized vehicles. Overall, this photograph is a beautiful and evocative reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions of Turkey.
