EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse into the lives of the Tekes, Russian nomads, and their loyal companions - camels. Taken in the late 19th century by an unknown artist, this print showcases the unique relationship between these nomadic people and their trusted animals. The image transports us to a vast landscape, possibly somewhere in Mongolia or Russia, where the Tekes have set up camp with their traditional yurts. The towering presence of camels adds an element of majesty to this scene as they stand beside their owners. These magnificent creatures were not only used for transportation but also played a vital role in sustaining the nomads' way of life. The photographer's skill is evident in capturing every detail with precision and clarity. From the intricate patterns on the yurts to the weathered faces of both humans and animals alike, one can almost feel transported back in time to witness this moment firsthand. This photo serves as a reminder of our shared human history and highlights how different cultures adapt to survive within their unique environments. It invites us to appreciate not only nature's beauty but also our interconnectedness with it. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France. Through his lens, we are given a window into a world that may no longer exist but continues to captivate our imagination today.
