EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kurds of Hazou" transports us to the rich cultural heritage of Kurdistan in the 19th century. The engraving, skillfully created by Barban from a photography by Leonard de Selva, captures the essence of Kurdish life and tradition. In this mesmerizing image, we see a group of Kurds dressed in their traditional costumes. Each detail is meticulously depicted, showcasing the intricate patterns and vibrant colors that adorn their attire. The Kurds proudly display their unique identity through these garments, symbolizing their connection to history and ancestry. The focal point of the engraving centers around an individual holding an arm with both hands. This powerful gesture evokes strength and resilience within the Kurdish community. Alongside him are others wielding sabres and daggers, further emphasizing their courage and determination. Barban's artistry brings depth to this scene as he expertly translates De Selva's original photograph into an engraved masterpiece. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, he captures not only physical features but also emotions that emanate from each figure portrayed. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to the beauty and pride of the Kurdish people. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across cultures while honoring the distinctiveness that makes each community so extraordinary.
