"Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes: A Glimpse into the Dynasties and Empires of the Past" Step back in time to the era of the Buwayids, circa 932 A. D. , as we delve into the captivating world of Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes. Through his lens, captured by Emery Walker Ltd, we are transported to a time when Byzantine and Crusaders clashed with Seljuks in a battle for supremacy around 1130 A. D. Intriguingly, Sykes takes us on a journey from Neri to Akra through his lens crafted by Stanfords Geographical Establishment. We witness Baghdad during Mansur's reign in 1915, thanks to Edmund Sandars' creation. Ottoman and Persian cultures come alive after 1450 A. D. , painted vividly by Emery Walker Ltd. With an unknown creator behind it, a physical map of the Ottoman Empire circa 1915 unfolds before our eyes. The rivalry between Abbasid Caliphate and Byzantine Empire is brought to life around 786 A. D. , while Omayyad Caliphate battles Byzantine Empire circa 748 A. D. , both masterpieces courtesy of Emery Walker Ltd. But it is not just grand empires that captivate Colonel Sir Tatton Benvenuto Mark Sykes; he also turns his lens towards individuals who shape history. Shaykh Hamid Pasha stands tall amidst c1906-1913 (1915), immortalized forever by Sykes himself. The Kurdish people of Neri come alive through his photographs during this period too. Musa Bey el Abbasieh becomes an enigmatic figure frozen in time through Sykes' camera lens during c1906-1913 (1915). And let us not forget the Kastamuni Peasant showing Gallic Type - a testament to diversity and the human spirit, captured by Sykes during the same period.
