EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map created by British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor Mark Sykes in approximately 1915. The map illustrates the approximate distribution of Kurdish tribes within the Ottoman Empire during that time. It provides valuable insight into the demographics and cultural diversity of Turkey and its neighboring states. Colonel Sir Mark Sykes, known for his expertise in Middle Eastern affairs, meticulously documented various groupings of tribes including Turkish-speaking peoples, Lazis, Arabs, and Kurds. His work sheds light on the intricate web of languages and cultures present within this region. The map is taken from Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes' book titled "The Caliphs Last Heritage: A Short History of the Turkish Empire" published by Macmillan & Co. , London in 1915. This historical piece not only serves as an anthropological resource but also offers a glimpse into the geopolitical landscape of Asia Minor during that era. Sykes's dedication to ethnography and ethnology is evident through this detailed representation which highlights population distribution across Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), Turkey, and other parts of the Ottoman Empire. As we delve into this image captured by The Print Collector from Heritage Images collection, we are transported back to a time when borders were fluid yet deeply rooted in culture and tradition. It reminds us that history is intricately woven with diverse communities whose stories deserve recognition even today.
