EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Carpenter in Samarkand, 1905-1915" transports us back to the early 20th century in the heart of Uzbekistan. Taken by the talented photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, this image is part of his remarkable collection that documented the vast Russian Empire just before it underwent a significant revolution. Prokudin-Gorsky's innovative approach to color photography shines through in this print. By combining three separate photographs taken with red, green, and blue filters, he managed to create a stunning synthesis of colors that bring life to an otherwise monochromatic scene. In this particular frame, we witness a skilled laborer immersed in his craft. The carpenter stands proudly amidst stacks of lumber and logs as he meticulously works on shaping wood into something useful or beautiful. His weathered hands tell tales of years spent perfecting his trade while his focused gaze reveals dedication and passion for his work. The backdrop of Samarkand adds an air of exoticism to the composition. Known for its rich history and architectural wonders, this ancient city serves as a fitting setting for capturing such timeless craftsmanship. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, let us appreciate not only Prokudin-Gorsky's technical prowess but also celebrate the unsung heroes like this carpenter who played vital roles in shaping our world during that era.
