The tramlines, stretching out into the distance, hint at the expanding transportation network that would soon connect Tashkent to other parts of the Russian Empire. 4. Historical Context: At the turn of the 20th century, Tashkent was an essential trading hub along the ancient Silk Road, and its strategic location made it an attractive target for Russian expansion. The city underwent significant development during this period, with the construction of new buildings, infrastructure, and the introduction of modern transportation like trams. 5. Trams and Transport: The arrival of trams in Tashkent marked a significant milestone in the city's transportation history. These electric trams, powered by overhead wires, offered a more efficient and convenient means of travel for the growing population. The trams not only connected different parts of the city but also served as a symbol of modernity and progress. 6. Conclusion: This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of tradition and modernity that characterized Tashkent during the early 1900s.
