EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BUKHARA OFFICIAL, 1911" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. The image captures a distinguished bureaucrat standing on a snow-covered veranda, braving the cold winter of Turkestan. Photographed by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a renowned Russian photographer known for his pioneering work in color photography, this portrait showcases his exceptional talent even in monochrome. The official's striking appearance is enhanced by his traditional Islamic robe adorned with intricate patterns and stripes. The man's regal turban crowns his head while a long beard adds an air of wisdom and authority to his countenance. A belt cinches around his waist, holding a pouch that likely holds important documents or personal belongings. Behind him stands an elegant baluster railing leading to an entrance framed by wooden columns painted with delicate designs. This architectural detail reflects the rich cultural heritage of Bukhara. Through this photograph, we are transported to a different era where civil servants like this bureaucrat played vital roles within their communities. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece capturing the essence of life in early 20th-century Uzbekistan.
