EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sketches at Baku, on the Caspian Sea" takes us back to 1890, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Baku in Azerbaijan. Created by Frederick Pegram, this illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 13th of that year. The scene showcases a vibrant street filled with various professions and activities. In the foreground, we see a Persian cart being drawn by horses, transporting barrels of wine. This highlights the importance of trade and commerce in Baku during this era. Amidst the lively atmosphere, a water carrier can be seen gracefully balancing two large jugs on his shoulders as he makes his way through the crowd. His presence adds an authentic touch to this depiction of everyday life in Baku. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout the engraving, capturing not only human activity but also glimpses of wildlife such as horses grazing peacefully nearby. These animals served as essential means of transportation and were an integral part of Azerbaijani culture at that time. Overall, this print offers us a fascinating window into historical Baku - its people, their occupations, and its unique blend of Eastern and Western influences. It serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document for those interested in exploring Azerbaijan's rich cultural heritage.
