Kalmuck Dwelling; The Caucasus,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative 19th-century photograph that captures the unique landscape and culture of the Kalmyk people in their traditional ger dwellings, nestled amidst the breathtaking scenery of the Caucasus Mountains. The image, published in H.W. Bates' "Illustrated Travels" (Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, London, 1880), offers a glimpse into the daily life of this Mongolian people who inhabited the region between Russia and the Caspian Sea. The photograph portrays a serene scene of a Kalmyk encampment, with horse-drawn carriages and gers arranged in a semi-circle, surrounded by grazing horses and a winding dirt road leading into the distance. The gers, or yurts, are adorned with colorful decorations and intricate patterns, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Kalmyk people. In the foreground, a group of Kalmyks can be seen engaged in various activities, adding a sense of warmth and humanity to the scene. The photograph was taken during the 1870s, a time when the Kalmyks were under Russian rule, and their traditional way of life was undergoing significant changes. The image serves as an important historical record of a people and their culture that has since largely disappeared, making it a valuable addition to any collection of 19th-century travel literature or ethnographic studies. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by either H.W. Bates or Douglas William Freshfield, both of whom were prolific travel writers and photographers of the time. Regardless of the photographer's identity, "Kalmuck Dwelling; The Caucasus," stands as a testament to the rich cultural diversity and natural beauty of the Caucasus region during the late 19th century.
