EDITORS COMMENTS
This three-quarter portrait depicts a Caucasian man, seated and facing right, dressed in the fashion of the late 19th century. The man, identified as Gor-ai-itz Christian mountainier, wears a dark coat with intricate embroidery and a white shirt with a high collar. His long, flowing beard and hair are meticulously groomed, and he is seen holding a pistol in his right hand. The man's attire suggests a connection to the mountainous regions of the Caucasus, a historically turbulent area known for its diverse population and frequent conflicts. The inscription on the verso of the print, "Match - a wedding match," indicates that this portrait may have been taken as a memento of a significant event in the man's life. The photograph, reminiscent of the cartes de visite popular during this period, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and fashion trends of the 1870s and 1880s. This image, with its timeless quality and intriguing backstory, offers a glimpse into the past and the complex history of the Caucasus region.
