EDITORS COMMENTS
The Palace of the Khan of Baku, captured in this exquisite lithograph from 1847, transports us to a bygone era on the Apsheron peninsula. Plate 42 from a book on the Caucasus, engraved by Mouilleron, Bayalos and Charles Claude Bachelier, showcases the remarkable architectural grandeur that once graced Azerbaijan's landscape. This print reveals an opulent palace nestled amidst lush surroundings. The intricate details of its design reflect the rich cultural heritage and artistic finesse prevalent during that time. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when princes ruled with regality and splendor. The presence of a hawking party adds an element of liveliness to the scene. We can almost hear the fluttering wings as falcons take flight under clear blue skies. It is a testament to both leisurely pursuits and noble traditions. Intriguingly, this photograph also offers glimpses into Muslim customs with figures enjoying hookahs – symbols of relaxation and socializing – in their elegant attire. This fusion between architecture and culture creates a harmonious blend that encapsulates Azerbaijan's unique identity. Preserved within private collections like The Stapleton Collection, this rare lithograph allows us to appreciate Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin's masterful artistry while providing insight into historical Azerbaijani society.
