EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable piece of history captured by Abdullah Freres, an Armenian photographer active during the 1860s to 1890s. Taken between 1865 and 1870, this albumen silver print offers a glimpse into the lives of Jews during that era. The image portrays a group of individuals belonging to the Jewish community, their expressions reflecting both resilience and hope. The composition is strikingly intimate, as if inviting viewers to step into their world and understand their experiences. Abdullah Freres' skillful use of albumen silver printing technique adds depth and richness to every detail in this photograph. The tonal range is exquisite; subtle shadows highlight facial features while delicate textures bring life to clothing and surroundings. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print serves as a valuable historical document. It sheds light on the cultural diversity within society during a time when prejudices were prevalent. By capturing these Jewish individuals with empathy and respect, Abdullah Freres challenges stereotypes while preserving their legacy for future generations. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also recognize the importance of embracing diversity and understanding our shared humanity across different cultures and religions.
