EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of a Turcoman camp in the border area of Turkestan and Persia. Each tent, skillfully constructed with wooden trellis and covered with felt, serves as a humble abode for an entire family. The intricate details of this engraving beautifully illustrate the story of Henri de Blocqueville's "14 mois de captivite chez les turcomans" recounting his 14-month captivity among these nomadic people. The scene is filled with cultural richness and historical significance. It showcases not only the architectural ingenuity of the Turcoman people but also their way of life within this vast expanse of land where borders blur. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a time when traditions were passed down through generations within these tents. Published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1866 Paris, this engraving has become part of Selva Collection's private collection. Its inclusion in such esteemed publications speaks volumes about its artistic merit and ability to transport viewers across time and space. Leonard de Selva's photograph perfectly captures every detail, allowing us to appreciate both the technical artistry involved in creating this print and its historical importance. This remarkable piece invites us to explore a bygone era while reminding us that even centuries later, human connection remains at the heart of every home – no matter how humble or transient it may be.
