EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Flat Breads Vendors, Samarkand' by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, transports us back in time to the vibrant and bustling streets of Samarkand, Uzbekistan, between 1905 and 1915. Prokudin-Gorsky, a renowned Russian photographer, captured this moment in his extensive album 'Views in Central Asia' during the Russian Empire era. The image showcases a group of flatbread vendors, seated and engaged in their daily trade. Their clothing and headgear reflect the rich cultural heritage of the region, with the men donning traditional garments and headdresses. The flatbread, a staple food in Central Asian cuisine, is artfully displayed on a table, ready to be sold to passing customers. The sepia tones of the photograph add to the timeless and nostalgic feel, inviting us to ponder the meeting of frontiers between the old and the new, the traditional and the modern. Prokudin-Gorsky's masterful composition and use of light and shadow bring the scene to life, allowing us to connect with the people and their occupation in a way that transcends the boundaries of time. This image is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Central Asia, and a reminder of the diverse and fascinating cultures that have shaped our world. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C., where Prokudin-Gorsky's album is housed, preserves this and other precious pieces of history for future generations to explore and learn from.
