EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in the history of Dagestan, as it showcases a Sharia lecture taking place at Khosrakh. Plate 50 from a book on the Caucasus, this print holds immense cultural and historical value. Engraved by Adolphe Mouilleron and published by Alfred Leon Lemercier in Paris in 1847, this lithograph beautifully depicts the interior scene of an Islamic religious law lecture. The image portrays a male teacher passionately delivering his teachings to a group of attentive students inside a humble shack. The atmosphere is filled with intellectual curiosity and deep reverence for knowledge. The composition skillfully highlights the importance of education within Muslim communities, emphasizing the role of tutors who pass down their wisdom to future generations. It offers us a glimpse into the rich educational traditions that have shaped Dagestan's cultural heritage. Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin masterfully captured this moment through his lens, showcasing his talent as an artist and photographer. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable historical document that sheds light on Dagestan's past. Now preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this engraving continues to inspire awe and appreciation for its depiction of Islamic education in Dagestan during the mid-19th century. Its timeless beauty reminds us of the enduring power of knowledge across cultures and generations.
