EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Girdi Kurds, c1906-1913" by Mark Sykes, offers a glimpse into the lives of Kurdish men from Girdi Abdulaziz in the Erbil Governorate of Kurdistan Region, Iraq. The image is featured in Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes' book "The Caliphs Last Heritage" published by Macmillan & Co in 1915. In this portrait, we see a group of distinguished Kurdish men dressed in their traditional attire. Their clothing consists of long coats and jackets adorned with intricate patterns and belts that showcase their cultural heritage. Each man wears a unique headdress or headgear that adds to their individuality. Mark Sykes skillfully captures the essence of these individuals as they stand confidently against an unknown backdrop within their homeland. Through his lens, we are transported to early 20th-century Kurdistan during the final years of the Ottoman Empire. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also provides valuable insight into the rich history and diverse culture of this region. It reminds us of the importance of preserving our heritage and understanding different communities around the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us appreciate its beauty while acknowledging its historical significance - a testament to both Mark Sykes' talent as a photographer and his dedication to documenting cultures for future generations to admire and learn from.
