EDITORS COMMENTS
Jewish girls, Samarkand," was captured by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky between 1905 and 1915. The image is part of his extensive album, "Views in Central Asia," which documents the diverse ethnographic landscape of the Russian Empire during the early 20th century. The photograph features a group of Jewish girls, dressed in traditional clothing, seated on the steps of a building exterior. The girls' vibrant, colorful attire stands in stark contrast to the sepia tones of the photograph, highlighting the rich heritage and unique fashion of the Jewish community in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, during this period. The girls wear intricately designed headdresses, adorned with flowers and other decorative elements, which add to their ethereal beauty. They are surrounded by lush, green trees and plants, adding to the idyllic setting of the scene. The photograph is a testament to the meeting of frontiers, showcasing the diverse cultural and religious traditions that coexisted in Central Asia during this time. Prokudin-Gorsky's masterful use of light and composition brings the girls and their environment to life, transporting us back in time to a bygone era. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the lives of Jewish girls in Samarkand during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within Central Asia and the importance of preserving these traditions for future generations." Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky (1863-1944) was a Russian photographer known for his work documenting the Russian Empire and its ethnic diversity. His photographs are now part of the collections of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., and are an invaluable resource for scholars and historians studying the history of Russia and Central Asia.
