This evocative photograph captures the vibrant scene of local traders at work in the ancient town of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan, also known as Chardzhou, Carjew, Chardjui, Charjou, Chardzhev, Charjev, or Charjew, during the 1910s. The town, which translates to 'four canals/streams' in Persian, is the capital city of Lebap Province and is situated near the confluence of the Amu Darya and Murgab rivers. The bustling marketplace is filled with men from all walks of life, engaged in the lively exchange of goods. The traders, dressed in traditional attire, can be seen haggling over prices at their stalls and shops, while villagers and travelers browse the wares on offer. The atmosphere is one of energy and excitement, as the community comes together to buy and sell a diverse range of items.

This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and culture of Turkmenistan, a country with a long and complex past that has been shaped by its unique geography, diverse population, and complex political history. The traders and their wares are a testament to the resilience and entrepreneurial spirit of the people of this ancient town, who have adapted to the challenges of their environment and thrived in the face of adversity.
