EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases an intriguing character named Hamal Bekji, an old white bearded man dressed in a traditional native costume. The image, captured by Abdullah Freres, an Armenian photographer active during the late 19th century, dates back to the period between 1870 and 1880. In this portrait, Hamal Bekji is depicted seated with a sense of wisdom and experience emanating from his weathered face. His long white beard adds to his distinguished appearance, symbolizing knowledge and maturity. The intricate details of his native costume highlight cultural elements that may hold significant meaning within his community. The use of albumen silver print enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this photograph. This technique was popular during the era due to its ability to produce sharp images with rich tonal range. As we observe this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, it invites us to reflect on the diversity and depth of human experiences across different cultures. It serves as a reminder that every individual has their own unique story worth exploring and cherishing.
