EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii around 1910, we are transported to Samarkand, a city in Uzbekistan. The image showcases a group of Jewish students accompanied by their teacher, standing outside an early 20th-century school building. The composition exudes a sense of curiosity and eagerness as the young boys engage in various activities. Some can be seen attentively reading books while others engage in conversations with their peers. Their teacher stands proudly at the center, guiding them through their educational journey. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the vibrant Jewish community thriving amidst the cultural tapestry of Samarkand during that era. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on education within this close-knit community. Prokudin-Gorskii's expert eye for detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph - from capturing each individual's expression to highlighting architectural elements that define turn-of-the-century Samarkand. As we admire this historical print, it becomes clear that beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper narrative about unity, knowledge-seeking, and cultural preservation. This image invites us to reflect upon how education has always played an integral role in shaping societies throughout history. Overall, "Samarkand: Jewish Students" encapsulates both the timeless beauty of photography as well as its ability to transport us back in time and connect us with diverse communities across different eras.
