EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Central Asian family outside their house in the late 19th century. The image, taken from "Caucase and Asie Centrale, Types and Costumes" showcases the rich architecture of the building as well as the traditional costumes worn by its inhabitants. In this scene, we see a diverse group of individuals standing proudly together. The women are adorned in vibrant traditional dresses that reflect their cultural heritage, while the men exude strength and dignity in their attire. A young child stands close to his mother, gazing curiously at the camera with wide eyes. The location is believed to be somewhere in Central Asia or possibly even the Caucasus region. Surrounding them is an enchanting landscape dotted with tents and yurts, suggesting a nomadic lifestyle embraced by these indigenous people. The photographer has skillfully captured not only a moment frozen in time but also a glimpse into an entire way of life that existed during this era. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and allows us to appreciate the beauty found within different cultures. This remarkable print provides us with valuable insight into Central Asian traditions and customs from over a century ago. Its vivid colors and attention to detail transport us back to another time, inviting us to explore further into this fascinating world captured by L Boulanger's lens.
