The image showcases a distinguished man wearing a turban, believed to be from Kastamonu in Turkey. This photograph is part of Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes' book "The Caliphs Last Heritage, a short history of the Turkish Empire" published by Macmillan & Co in London in 1915.

The subject's profile is strikingly highlighted against a dark background, emphasizing his unique headdress and facial features. His eyes convey wisdom and resilience, reflecting the experiences of an individual living within a rapidly changing world.
