EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sweetseller, 1865" we are transported back in time to the vibrant streets of Istanbul during the Ottoman Empire. The image, a colour lithograph by Amadeo Preziosi, showcases a bustling scene filled with exotic aromas and lively chatter. At the center of the frame stands a veiled sweetseller, her face hidden behind an intricately patterned veil. She skillfully balances a tray full of delectable treats on one hand while holding a measuring scale in the other. Surrounding her are eager children, their eyes wide with anticipation as they await their turn to purchase these mouthwatering delights. The vendor's stall is adorned with an array of colorful wares - jars filled with candies and confections that tempt passersby. A young child peeks out from behind his mother's protective embrace, his curiosity piqued by this enchanting spectacle. This image captures not only the essence of orientalism but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life within this bustling marketplace. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and traditions that once thrived in Istanbul. With its impeccable detail and vivid colors, this print transports us back in time to experience firsthand the sights and sounds of an era long gone. It is truly a remarkable piece that invites viewers to immerse themselves in this fascinating world captured by Amadeo Preziosi over 150 years ago.
