EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to Ankara, Turkey during the 18th century. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic city, with its walled backdrop and bustling center plan. In the foreground, we are presented with a vivid depiction of various stages of wool production. On the far right, angora goats are being carefully shaved, their luxurious fleece destined to become highly sought-after material for textiles. Moving from right to left, we witness a drapenier skillfully weaving the wool into intricate patterns, followed by scenes of washing and cooking it to perfection. The importance of this industry is evident as men on horseback accompanied by hunting dogs traverse through the landscape on one side while a hunter leads both horse and camel caravans across a sturdy bridge on the other side. This bustling activity highlights Ankara's significance as a hub for trade and commerce during that era. As our gaze extends further into the image, we catch glimpses of daily life in this vibrant city - busy marketplaces filled with merchants selling their wares and locals going about their day-to-day routines. The panoramic view showcases Ankara's silhouette against a backdrop of rolling hills and distant horizons. This extraordinary artwork not only provides us with an insight into historical textile production but also offers us an enchanting glimpse into Ankara's rich cultural heritage during this period in Turkish history.
