Bubble Cafe Hookah Hubble Istanbul Nargile Patrons Pipes Porters Smokers
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Turkish café in Istanbul, Turkey, circa 1910s. The scene unfolds on a bustling street, where the aroma of freshly brewed Turkish tea and the sweet, fruity scent of hookah pipes mingle in the air. Patrons, both men and women, sit on low chairs or at small tables, engrossed in conversation or simply enjoying the moment. Some of the patrons are smoking hookah pipes, also known as nargile, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the lanterns hanging overhead. In the background, porters carry heavy loads and the sounds of horse-drawn carts and chatter fill the air. The café's decorative tiles and ornate metalwork add to the exotic allure of this bygone era. The hubble-bubble pipes, a symbol of Turkish hospitality and tradition, have long been a part of the café culture in Istanbul. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant street life of this enchanting city.
