EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 19th century in Baku, Azerbaijan. The image depicts a Guebre (or Zoroastrian) believer engaged in a ritual of fire worship. This fascinating engraving is part of the New National Encyclopedia by Maurice La Charest from 1870. The subject of the photograph stands amidst the picturesque landscape of the Caucasus region, surrounded by natural elements that hold great significance in Zoroastrianism. With his hands raised towards the heavens and eyes closed in devotion, he embodies deep spirituality and faith. The composition beautifully captures both the solemnity and intensity of this ancient religious practice. The French School's meticulous attention to detail brings every aspect of this scene to life - from the intricate patterns on the believer's clothing to the flickering flames before him. This print serves as a powerful reminder of humanity's diverse religious traditions and their enduring presence throughout history. It offers us a glimpse into a world where rituals like fire worship were an integral part of daily life for certain populations. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully preserves this momentous cultural heritage through his masterful reproduction technique. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless beauty and historical significance.
