General view of Cicek Pasaji, by Cleanthy Zanno, 1876, Istiklal Street, Istanbul, Turkey. Cicek Pasaji, or Flower Passage, is part of a shopping arcade with flats known as Cite de Pera, and built by banker Hristaki Zografos on the site of a burned out theatre. The shopping arcade was called Hristaki Pasaji but was nicknamed Flower Passage after the 1917 Russian revolution when many Russian emigre women opened flower shops here. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
