EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant scene of a leper, clad in traditional Uzbek attire, sitting in the bustling bazaar of Samarkand, Uzbekistan during the 1910s. The man's turban, worn to shield his head from the harsh sun, is adorned with intricate embroidery, a common tradition in Central Asian culture. In his hands, he holds a simple wooden bowl and a long, curved stick, which he uses for support and to beg for alms. Leprosy, an ancient disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, had long been a scourge in Central Asia and other parts of the world. Stigmatized and often shunned by society, those afflicted with the disease were often left to beg for their livelihood. Despite their isolation, they remained a part of the community, as seen in this image, where they continued to participate in daily life. The vibrant colors and lively energy of the Samarkand bazaar serve as a stark contrast to the stillness and sadness of the leper's demeanor. The photograph offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in Central Asia during this time, revealing the coexistence of hardship and resilience. This poignant image is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of empathy and compassion.
