EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1905 and 1915 by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky, transports us back in time to the bustling streets of old Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The image, titled "On a street of old Samarkand," showcases a young boy casually seated atop a donkey, making his way along a dirt street. The boy's relaxed demeanor and the donkey's patient expression convey a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the scene. The photograph is part of Prokudin-Gorsky's extensive collection, "Views in Central Asia, Russian Empire," which documents the diverse people, landscapes, and cultures of the region. The sepia tones of the image add to its timeless quality, imbuing the scene with a nostalgic and romantic feel. The brick wall in the background, with its intricate patterns and faded colors, serves as a striking contrast to the vibrant boy and his donkey. The meeting of the old and the new, the traditional and the modern, is encapsulated in this single image. Prokudin-Gorsky's masterful use of light and shadow, as well as his keen eye for detail, make this photograph a valuable historical document and a beautiful work of art. It offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Central Asia and the Russian Empire during the early 20th century, inviting us to explore the history and culture of this fascinating region.
