EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1895, showcasing a remarkable scene of Kurdish cavalry. The image is extracted from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" division XVI, a publication authored by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the power and grandeur of these armed soldiers mounted on their majestic horses. Clad in traditional attire, they exude an air of strength and determination as they prepare for battle. Each warrior holds a lance or spear, poised to defend their homeland against any threat that may arise. The photograph transports us to Asia, specifically Kurdistan - a region known for its rich cultural heritage and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of the bravery exhibited by these Kurdish fighters during the 19th century. Through this monochrome engraving, we are reminded of the timeless bond between man and animal as we observe the harmonious relationship between soldier and horse. The horses stand tall with grace while carrying their riders into battle, highlighting their crucial role in warfare throughout history. As we delve into this extraordinary piece captured by Elisee Reclus himself or an unknown creator associated with him, it sparks our curiosity about past civilizations' military strategies while simultaneously appreciating the artistry behind such prints that have been preserved through time by organizations like Heritage Images.
