EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Bazaar at Saint Jean d'Acre during Ottoman Domination," offers a glimpse into the bustling commercial activity of the ancient city of Acre, now known as Akko, located in the northern territory of modern-day Israel. The image, created by the skilled hands of Lemaitre, Vormser, and Lepetit, is a visual representation taken from the historical account "Historia de Turquia" penned by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver in 1840. During the Ottoman Empire's rule, Acre thrived as a major center for trade and commerce. This covered bazaar, located near Saint-Jean d'Acre, was a hub of daily life where merchants from various lands exchanged goods, showcasing the economic prosperity under Ottoman domination. The intricately designed marketplace, with its arched roofs and narrow passageways, protected the merchandise and the merchants from the harsh Mediterranean climate. The interior of the bazaar is filled with a myriad of colors and textures, as vendors display their wares, including textiles, spices, and ceramics. The Ottoman Turks, known for their mastery of trade and commerce, are depicted in the scene, further emphasizing the cultural significance of this bustling marketplace. This engraving provides a captivating snapshot of the Old Ottoman period, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the people who inhabited this historic city and the economic activities that shaped it.
