EDITORS COMMENTS
"This full-length portrait captures the enigmatic presence of an unidentified Transcaucasian man from the late 19th century. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands proudly with a confident and serious expression, facing directly towards the viewer. The man's long, thick beard and dark, piercing eyes add to his intriguing demeanor. The image, taken between 1870 and 1886, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Transcaucasian region, which lies at the crossroads of Europe and Asia. The man's clothing, with its intricate patterns and bold colors, reflects the unique blend of influences that shaped the region's fashion during this time. The portrait is reminiscent of the popular carte de visite format, a type of photographic print that was widely used during the 19th century. This format allowed people to easily exchange and collect portraits of friends and family, making them a valuable historical record of the era. The location of this portrait is unknown, but it is believed to be from the South Caucasus region, which includes modern-day Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. The man's headdress and headgear suggest that he may have come from one of the many ethnic groups that inhabited the area during this time. This portrait is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives and traditions of the people of the Transcaucasian region during the 19th century. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to influence the world today, and a testament to the power of photography to capture the human spirit." The Library of Congress holds this image as part of its extensive collection of historical photographs, which includes thousands of images from the 19th century and beyond. This image is a valuable addition to the library's holdings, providing a unique insight into the history and culture of the Transcaucasian region.
