EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, two young Uyghur children are seen bundled up against the cold mountainous climate of Kashgar, a historical city located in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of South West China. The Uyghurs are an indigenous Turkic people, known for their rich cultural heritage and traditional ways of life. The children are dressed in warm, padded coats, typical of the region's harsh winters. Their clothing, with its intricate designs and vibrant colors, reflects the unique history and traditions of the Uyghur tribe. The children's faces are filled with curiosity and wonder as they gaze off into the distance, perhaps at the bustling markets or ancient mosques that are a hallmark of this historic city. This photograph was taken by Ralph Ponsonby Watts, an intrepid explorer who travelled up from Kashmir to Kashgar in the late 19th or early 20th century. Watts was a prolific photographer, and his series of superb photographs from this journey offer a rare glimpse into a time when traditional ways of life were still prevalent in this region. The mountainous terrain and rich cultural history of Kashgar have long attracted travelers and adventurers from near and far. Today, the city remains an important cultural and historical center, and the Uyghur people continue to preserve their traditions and ways of life, despite the challenges of modernization and political upheaval. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique cultural heritage of indigenous peoples and the role that photography can play in documenting and celebrating their stories.
