EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Musa Bey el Abbasieh, a man of Arabian descent, surrounded by a group of people in Central Asia, possibly in present-day Turkey. The image was taken by Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes between 1906 and 1913 and featured in his book "The Caliphs Last Heritage: A Short History of the Turkish Empire" published in 1915. Musa Bey el Abbasieh is depicted as a sad-faced man who warmly welcomed Sykes during their encounter at Gulanik, the seat and castle belonging to Musa Bey. Dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire, including an elaborate headdress or turban, Musa Bey stands out among the group portrait. Sykes' photograph offers a glimpse into the cultural diversity and historical context of Central Asia during this period. It showcases not only the clothing and appearance of individuals but also provides insight into their social structure within the Ottoman Empire. As an accomplished author and military officer (Lt. -Col. ), Sir Mark Sykes documented his travels extensively throughout his career. His work sheds light on lesser-known regions such as Central Asia while contributing to our understanding of global history. This print serves as a visual testament to both Sykes' exploration endeavors and Musa Bey's role within Turkish society at that time.
