EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Ulugh Beg Madrasah, a remarkable architectural gem dating back to the early 15th century. Located in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, this stunning structure is captured in all its glory on the Registan square. The image was expertly composed by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii around 1915 using an early color composite technique. The photograph transports us to a time when Islamic art and architecture flourished in Central Asia. The intricate mosaic patterns adorning the entrance and exterior of the madrasah are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The minaret rises elegantly towards the sky, while turrets add an air of grandeur to this sacred place of learning. Prokudin-Gorskii's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every detail of this historical masterpiece. From afar, we can admire how it harmoniously blends with its surroundings, reflecting both Russian and Uzbek influences. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within our world. This photograph serves as a window into history and invites us to explore further into Samarkand's fascinating past.
