EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1905, captures a moment in history at Haydar Pasa Quay, Istanbul. The image showcases a group of porters and their boss, expertly maneuvering a massive, heavy block of stone suspended on two long wooden poles. The historical significance of this scene lies in the fact that the stone was likely being transported from the quay to a nearby construction site, contributing to the ongoing development of the city. The porters, dressed in traditional attire, display their incredible strength and skill as they balance the enormous boulder between them. Their determined expressions and focused body language convey the intensity and importance of their task. The boss, standing at the front, directs the team with a confident and authoritative demeanor. The wooden quay, with its aged and weathered appearance, adds to the historical context of the scene. The backdrop of the Bosphorus Strait and the city skyline further emphasizes the rich cultural heritage of the location. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and labor practices of Istanbul during the early 20th century. The image is a testament to the resilience and hard work of the porters, who played a vital role in the transportation of goods and materials in this bustling port city.
