EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of a 19th-century Turkish barber shop, as captured in this stunning photograph by Terry Parker, dated July 1854, from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive. The interior of this exotic establishment transports us back in time to the ornate and intricately decorated spaces of the 1850s. The Turkish barber shop, with its rich, oriental style, is a feast for the senses. The warm, inviting atmosphere is filled with the aroma of shaving soap and the faint scent of tobacco from the pipe that hangs in the corner, where a customer leisurely puffs away. The barber, dressed in traditional Turkish attire, expertly wields a straight razor, preparing to shave a patron who sits comfortably in the barber chair, his turban carefully placed on the floor beside him. The interior of the shop is adorned with intricate, colorful patterns and ornate details, reflecting the unique blend of Turkish and Victorian influences. The large, arched window allows natural light to filter in, casting a warm glow over the scene. The mirror on the wall not only serves a practical purpose but also adds to the allure of the space, creating an illusion of depth and dimension. This photograph, a captivating glimpse into the past, offers a rare and intriguing look at the daily life of a Turkish barber shop during the Victorian era. The exotic, yet familiar, setting invites us to imagine the stories and conversations that once took place within these walls, making it a truly enchanting work of art.
