EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by John Dakers, we are transported to the vibrant streets of Istanbul, Turkey. The bustling Sultanahmet district sets the stage for a lively scene at an outdoor café, where men gather around a table engrossed in a game of Tavla. This popular Turkish pastime bears similarities to backgammon but features its own unique twists. As the players strategize their moves with intense focus, one cannot help but be drawn into the excitement and camaraderie that fills the air. Tavla is not merely a game; it is an integral part of Turkish culture, bringing people together across generations. Istanbul itself serves as a perfect backdrop for this snapshot of urban life. With its rich history and blend of European and Asian influences, it epitomizes the harmonious coexistence between East and West. The city's enchanting charm captivates travelers from all corners of the globe who seek to immerse themselves in its vibrant energy. John Dakers skillfully captures both the essence of Tavla as well as Istanbul's allure in this remarkable photograph. It invites us to witness a moment frozen in time – where tradition meets modernity amidst laughter and friendly competition. Whether you are an avid fan or simply intrigued by cultural experiences, this print serves as a visual reminder that games have always been more than just entertainment; they connect people through shared moments and create lasting memories.
