Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. This photograph was most probably taken in 1895, when William Sachtleben was in Turkey to investigate the disappearance of cyclist Frank Lenz who had last been seen near Erzurum. Notes accompanying negatives indicate that during this trip, Sachtleben was in Bursa and travelled from Trabzon to Erzurum. Sachtleben's 1891 photographs of his bicycle tour across Asia have a circular format. The handwritten list of images may be seen on the image with ark no. 21198/zz002hftdx View of a Turkish Muslim woman on horseback and wearing a veil that covers her head, shoulders, back and face except the eyes. She has just crossed the Merab Kuprü bridge in or near Bursa. A man is on the road on the left and mountains are visible in the distance. Caption from list: 12, 13. Turkish woman of Broussa just after crossing Merab Kuprü
