EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Monks (Duvans) in Kalandar-Khane, Samarkand, between 1905 and 1915," is a striking image from the album "Views in Central Asia, Russian Empire," created by renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky. The photograph depicts a group of eight monks, dressed in traditional attire, standing in a courtyard. The monks, identified as Duvans, are shown in a formal pose, their faces expressionless and their gazes directed towards the camera. They wear long, flowing robes and distinctive headdresses, adding to their mystical aura. The monks' clothing, with its rich colors and intricate patterns, offers a glimpse into the unique fashion of the time and the cultural heritage of Central Asia. The photograph was taken in Kalandar-Khane, a historic site in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, during the early 20th century. The location, with its ancient architecture and religious significance, adds to the historical context of the image. Prokudin-Gorsky, a pioneer in the field of color photography, expertly captured the essence of this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. The sepia tones of the photograph lend a timeless quality to the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and diverse cultures of Central Asia and the Russian Empire during the early 1900s. It is a reminder of the meeting of frontiers and the unique blend of traditions that shaped the region's history.
