A Tartar of the Northern Slopes of the Caucasus; The Caucasus,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and enigmatic photograph capturing the portrait of a Tartar man from the northern slopes of the Caucasus Mountains, taken during the 1870s. The image is from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880. The man in the photograph is dressed in traditional Tartar attire, with a long, flowing robe reaching down to his ankles, and a wide-brimmed felt hat adorned with intricate designs. His face is framed by a thick beard, and his piercing eyes gaze intently at the viewer. The background is a rugged, rocky landscape, suggesting the harsh and unforgiving terrain of the Caucasus region. The Tartars were a group of people inhabiting the area between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea, and were historically part of the larger Turkic ethnic group. The traditional dress and customs of the Tartars were influenced by their nomadic lifestyle and their location at the crossroads of various cultural influences. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time and place far removed from our modern world. It is a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that once existed, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions and customs of different communities. The image was likely taken by an unknown photographer, but it has been passed down through the years, preserved in various collections and archives, and is now available for us to appreciate and learn from. It is a testament to the power of photography to capture moments in time, and to transport us to different places and experiences. Overall, "A Tartar of the Northern Slopes of the Caucasus; The Caucasus," is a stunning and captivating photograph that invites us to explore the history and culture of the Caucasus region, and to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the human experience.
