Café, at Karasu-Bazar - sketched by Willibald Richter, 1856. Creator: Unknown

Cafe, at Karasu-Bazar - sketched by Willibald Richter, 1856....a pleasant glimpse into the simple everyday life of the Tartar inhabitants of the Crimea....The stranger finds among them a touching hospitality, simple and unaffected virtues that deeply affect him. The best room, the most succulent viands, everything the Tartar has to offer is laid before his guest with an eagerness that stifles even the idea of refusing them; and, indeed, it would be a mortal insult if you should wish to remunerate his benevolent reception by aught save an expressive grasp of the hand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled 'Café, at Karasu-Bazar - sketched by Willibald Richter, 1856,' offers a charming glimpse into the everyday life of the Tartar inhabitants of the Crimea during the 19th century. The architectural features of the buildings in the scene, with their intricate balconies and ceramic detailing, showcase the unique blend of Eastern and Western influences that characterized the region at the time. The scene unfolds on a bustling street, where men in turbans and colorful headdresses go about their daily business. A cafe, with its inviting exterior, serves as a focal point of the image. The best room in the house, adorned with pottery and ceramics, has been prepared for a guest, who is likely a stranger. The Tartars extend a touching hospitality to the traveler, offering the best of their food and drink, and insisting on it being an insult if the guest were to offer any form of payment. This print, which was published in the 'Illustrated London News' in 1856, provides a poignant reminder of the simple and unaffected virtues of the Tartar people. The image captures the warmth and generosity of their hospitality, making it a cherished piece of history that continues to resonate with viewers today.
