EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Mohammed Alim Khan, the last Emir of Bukhara, in 1911. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky. As the ruler of Bukhara from 1911 to 1920, Mohammed Alim Khan held absolute power over his kingdom until it was seized by the Red Army during the Russian Civil War. Born in 1880, Mohammed Alim Khan claimed direct lineage from Ghengis Khan himself. This connection to such a legendary figure undoubtedly added to his regal presence and authority. Dressed in vibrant blue silk robes and adorned with an intricate headdress or turban, he exudes both elegance and power. The Emirate of Bukhara had been established in 1785 and remained under monarchic rule until its fall at the hands of the Red Army. After losing his throne, Mohammed Alim Khan lived out his days in exile in Kabul, Afghanistan until his death. This portrait offers a glimpse into Central Asian history and culture during the early 20th century. It showcases not only a significant historical figure but also highlights traditional Islamic attire and symbols associated with monarchy. Preserved within the collection of the Library of Congress in Washington DC, this photograph by Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural heritage.
