EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Barber in Samarkand, c. 1900" takes us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Samarkand, a province located in modern-day Uzbekistan. The image showcases a moment frozen in time, as we witness a skilled barber plying his trade amidst the vibrant atmosphere of this historic city. The barber, with his distinguished beard and traditional attire, stands proudly outside his humble yet inviting shop. His expertise is evident as he meticulously tends to the grooming needs of his clients. This photograph not only captures the essence of provincial life during this era but also provides valuable insight into the social history and cultural traditions that shaped Samarkand. As part of the Russian Empire until 1924, Samarkand was an intersection between East and West - a melting pot where Russian influence blended harmoniously with Islamic heritage. The presence of both Muslim and Russian elements can be observed through architectural details surrounding the barber's shop. The image exudes authenticity and transports us back to a time when tradition held great significance. It serves as a reminder that even in an ever-changing world, certain customs endure through generations. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical gem from their Fine Art Finder collection for all to appreciate. Through its lens, we are granted access to an intimate glimpse into daily life at the turn of the century – an invaluable testament to our shared human history.
