EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1911, capturing a moment in time that showcases the officialdom of Bukhara. The Minister of the Interior of the Emirate of Bukhara is seated with an air of authority, his traditional clothing reflecting his esteemed position. Photographed by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, this portrait exudes a sense of early 20th-century Turkestan. The minister's striking appearance commands attention as he dons a magnificent robe adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. A turban sits atop his head, symbolizing his Muslim faith and cultural heritage. His well-groomed beard adds to his dignified aura while a sash proudly displays medals that highlight his achievements within the government. Surrounded by opulent carpets and delicate flowers, this image transports us into an era where power was intertwined with tradition. It offers us a glimpse into the upper class society of Uzbekistan during this period. Prokudin-Gorskii's masterful photography captures not only the physical attributes but also hints at the personality behind this high-ranking official. The sword resting beside him serves as a reminder of both protection and authority wielded by those in positions such as these. Overall, this photograph encapsulates history frozen in time – an emblematic representation of Bukhara's government during its heyday in 1911.
