Comment: | The photograph was used in the context of an article by Osman Cemal (Kaygılı) with the title, ‘Istanbul’s most well-known man: Pazarola Hasan Bey’, in the weekly journal Resimli Ay. Pazarola Hasan bey (approx. 1880–1922) was a famous ‘crazy’ personality in Istanbul at the turn of the century. He was a factotum of the bazaar district around Beyazıt meydanı. The merchants and retailers of the time valued him as a good luck charm who would bless their shops and goods. |
