EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the corpulent and magnificent Greek hotel proprietor of the Hotel Ephesus, Monsieur Carpouzas, is shown seated in the village of Seljuk near Smyrna (Izmir), Turkey. The historical setting of the image is further emphasized by the Ottoman-style architecture and the quaint village scene in the background. Monsieur Carpouzas wears a white hat and a round, bushy moustache, adding to his distinguished and authoritative appearance. He is seen holding a cigarette in one hand and a cane in the other, exuding an air of confidence and elegance. His chubby frame and well-groomed beard complete the image of a prosperous and successful businessman. The village of Seljuk, located near the ancient city of Ephesus and the modern-day Izmir, is steeped in history and cultural significance. The region has been ruled by various empires throughout the centuries, including the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans. The Hotel Ephesus, under the stewardship of Monsieur Carpouzas, has likely been a hub of activity and hospitality for travelers and visitors to this historical and culturally rich area. The photograph captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of this region in Turkey. The image is a testament to the enduring allure of travel and the importance of hospitality in bringing people together, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of the passage of time. The photograph is a valuable historical record and a reminder of the stories and experiences that have shaped the world we live in today.
