EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Mark Sykes in 1915, showcases the esteemed Shaykh Hamid Pasha and his retinue in a village located just outside Bashkala. The image provides a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of southeastern Turkey during the early 20th century. The group portrait captures the sheikh's entourage adorned in traditional clothing, with some men wearing bandoliers filled with bullets, symbolizing their readiness to defend their land. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, featuring fez hats and turbans as prominent headgear choices. Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes skillfully captured this momentous scene from his book "The Caliphs Last Heritage, a short history of the Turkish Empire". As an accomplished photographer and author, Sykes offers us a unique perspective on life in Central Asia during this time period. Through this photograph, we are transported back to an era when empires ruled vast territories and rulers like Shaykh Hamid Pasha held significant influence over their people. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and allows us to appreciate the diversity and richness of cultures around the world. Mark Sykes' work continues to be celebrated for its ability to document historical moments while preserving cultural legacies. This particular image is a testament to his talent as both an observer and storyteller.
