The image is featured in Lt. -Col. Sir Mark Sykes' book "The Caliphs Last Heritage" published by Macmillan & Co in 1915. In this portrait, we see a group of distinguished Kurdish men dressed in their traditional attire. Their clothing consists of long coats and jackets adorned with intricate patterns and belts that showcase their cultural heritage. Each man wears a unique headdress or headgear that adds to their individuality. Mark Sykes skillfully captures the essence of these individuals as they stand confidently against an unknown backdrop within their homeland.
