EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Mullahs in Shakh-i Zindeh, Samarkand,' was captured by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky between 1905 and 1915. The image is part of his extensive album, 'Views in Central Asia, Russian Empire.' Prokudin-Gorsky is celebrated for his remarkable ability to capture color images using a specialized photographic process during a time when color photography was still in its infancy. The photograph depicts a group of mullahs, or Islamic religious leaders, gathered outdoors in the historic site of Shakh-i Zindeh in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The mullahs are dressed in traditional clothing, their robes and hats adding vibrant splashes of color against the sepia-toned background of the arid landscape. The men stand in a semi-circle, their faces expressing a range of emotions from contemplative to engaged. The setting, with its rich history and cultural significance, serves as a poignant reminder of the meeting of frontiers between the East and the West during the early 20th century. The photograph is a testament to the enduring heritage and artistic traditions of Central Asia, a region that has long been a melting pot of diverse cultures and religions. Today, this photograph is housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., a testament to the enduring value of Prokudin-Gorsky's work in documenting the history and heritage of Russia and its neighboring regions. The image continues to captivate audiences with its vivid colors and evocative depiction of a bygone era.
