EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Costumes of Baku, Caspian Coast" takes us on a journey to the vibrant and culturally rich region of the Caucasus. Captured by Grigori Grigorevich Gagarin in 1847, this engraving beautifully showcases the traditional costumes worn by the people of Baku. In this particular scene, we see a female figure seated cross-legged, donning an exquisite Caucasian traditional costume. Her attire is adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments that reflect the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Azerbaijan. The attention to detail in her clothing is truly remarkable. Beside her sits a male figure wearing a turban, further emphasizing the diversity within Baku's cultural tapestry. His beard adds an air of wisdom and maturity to his appearance. The composition of this image exudes elegance and grace as both figures are depicted in relaxed postures against a backdrop that hints at their coastal surroundings. The lithographic technique used by Jules Didier brings out every delicate line and texture, showcasing Gagarin's skillful artistry. This print offers us a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of these traditional costumes from Baku. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy and cultural richness found within this fascinating region on the Caspian Coast.
