EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Tashkent, Uzbekistan: A Stroll Along the Urda Riverbank in 1916 This photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Tashkent, Uzbekistan's riverfront in 1916. The scene unfolds along the banks of the Urda River, where open shopfronts, shops, and stalls line the waterfront, inviting passersby to explore their wares. The tranquil river, reflecting the vibrant colors of the buildings and merchandise, adds to the allure of this bustling urban landscape. Seated figures gather in small groups, engaged in animated conversations or simply enjoying the lively scene. Traders and tradesmen, dressed in the fashion of the era, attend to their customers, their faces expressing a mix of concentration, warmth, and curiosity. The open shopfronts display a diverse array of goods, from textiles and pottery to foodstuffs and household items. Interestingly, this photograph is a postcard using an identical plate to that of picture 11040989, which was published in 1913. However, the glass plate negative for this card has been reversed, resulting in a slightly different perspective. Despite this, the charm and vitality of Tashkent's riverfront remain palpable in both images. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Tashkent, a city that has long been a melting pot of diverse influences. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once inhabited this scene, and to appreciate the enduring allure of the urban waterfront.
