EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a group of monks standing in the snow-covered streets of Kalandar-Khane, Samarkand, between 1905 and 1915. Taken by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, this image is part of his extensive album, "Views in Central Asia," which documents the people, places, and cultures of the Russian Empire during the early 20th century. The monks, dressed in traditional clothing and headgear, are posed in front of a building and lean-tos, their faces expressing a range of emotions from contemplative to playful. The sepia tones of the photograph add to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a bygone era. Prokudin-Gorsky's masterful use of color photography captured the rich heritage and diversity of Central Asia, which was a meeting place of various cultures and religions. This photograph, in particular, offers a glimpse into the religious traditions of Samarkand, an ancient city located in present-day Uzbekistan. The monks' clothing and headgear reflect their devotion and commitment to their faith, while the snow-covered ground and building exterior add to the sense of stillness and serenity. This image is a testament to Prokudin-Gorsky's skill as a photographer and his dedication to preserving the history and heritage of Central Asia." This photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., USA, and is a valuable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Central Asia during the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the rich and diverse history that exists beyond our modern borders and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
