EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Circassians of the Mountains,' was published in the Cassells Illustrated Family Paper in London during the winter of 1853-1854. The photograph, which is believed to be an engraving, offers a glimpse into the lives of the Circassian people living in the mountainous regions of the Caucasus in Asia during the 19th century. The Circassians, known for their fierce resistance to foreign invaders, are depicted here in their traditional attire. The men wear long, flowing robes, often adorned with intricate patterns and fringes, and tall, conical hats. They carry muskets, a common weapon during this period, slung over their shoulders. Their faces are etched with determination and resolve, reflecting the challenging terrain and the ongoing conflicts in the region. The mountainous backdrop of this photograph adds to its breathtaking beauty and underscores the ruggedness and resilience of the Circassian people. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures that existed in Asia during the 19th century. Despite the unknown identity of the creator of this photograph, the 'Circassians of the Mountains' image remains a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the lives of a people who have long been a subject of fascination and admiration. The photograph's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us back in time and provide a window into a world that is vastly different from our own.
