EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic Yezidi Shaykh of Sinjar, taken between 1906-1913 by Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes. The Yazidi sheikh from northern Iraq is depicted in full length, exuding an air of wisdom and authority. This image is sourced from "The Caliphs Last Heritage, a short history of the Turkish Empire" published by Macmillan & Co in London in 1915. Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes, a prominent figure of his time, was not only a military officer but also an accomplished historian and diplomat. His extensive travels through the Middle East allowed him to document various aspects of different cultures and religions. The Yezidis are known for their unique religious beliefs that combine elements from several ancient faiths such as Zoroastrianism, Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. Despite facing persecution throughout history due to their distinct practices and beliefs, they have managed to preserve their cultural heritage. In this portrait, the Yezidi sheikh stands tall as a representative of his people's resilience and spiritual traditions amidst challenging times under Ottoman rule. His dignified presence invites us to explore the rich tapestry of religious diversity that exists within Iraq's complex social fabric. Through this photograph captured over a century ago by Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes' discerning lens, we are granted a glimpse into the world of one man who embodies both strength and serenity while representing an entire community's enduring legacy.
