EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Cretan Turks engaged in the time-honored tradition of smoking nargile pipes, also known as hookahs or hubble-bubbles, in Crete, circa 1902. The Ottoman Empire had ruled the island for over three centuries, leaving an indelible mark on its culture and customs. The men in this image don traditional Turkish fez hats, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of the smoking pipes. The smoke rises in swirling tendrils, creating a mesmerizing scene that speaks to the communal and relaxing nature of this age-old practice. The nargile pipe, with its long stem and bulbous base, has long been a symbol of hospitality and friendship in the Middle East and beyond. As the Ottoman Empire began to decline in the late 19th century, the use of nargile pipes became a cherished reminder of a bygone era. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of Cretan Turks during a time of great change, providing a window into their rich history and cultural traditions.
