EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Porters Dancing (Danse de hamals)' and dated 1910, offers a glimpse into the vibrant and lively culture of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, during the Ottoman Empire. The image captures a group of porters, or hamals, taking a break from their laborious work at a bustling cafe. The porters, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, are seen engaging in a lively dance, accompanied by the rhythmic beats of a drummer. The scene is filled with energy and joy, as the porters clap and dance in unison, their faces expressing pure delight. The photograph provides a rare and intriguing insight into the lives of these workers, who played an essential role in the transportation of goods in the bustling markets and streets of Constantinople. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that once thrived in this historic city, now a global hub of diversity and history.
