EDITORS COMMENTS
This full-length portrait captures the enigmatic presence of an unidentified Transcaucasian man from the late 19th century. Dressed in traditional clothing, he sits confidently with a stoic expression, facing front, between 1870 and 1886. The man's woolen, beige tunic and matching trousers are adorned with intricate embroidery, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the South Caucasus region. A black woolen hat covers his head, and a long, full beard frames his face. The man's attire, reminiscent of the meeting of European and Asian influences, exemplifies the unique fashion trends of the time. This photograph, likely taken as a carte de visite, is a testament to the diverse and complex history of the Transcaucasian region, which was part of the Russian Empire during this period. The image, held in the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the daily life and fashion of the people of Eurasia during the 1870s and 1880s. The black and white, high-contrast composition adds to the timeless and evocative quality of the portrait, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art or cultural heritage.
