EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Samarkand: Students, c1910" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The image showcases a group of young students immersed in their studies of Islam. Photographed by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, a renowned Russian photographer known for his pioneering work in color photography, this particular snapshot captures the essence of education during that era. The students are seen gathered outside an educational institution, possibly a school or mosque, engaged in deep conversation with their teacher. The scene is filled with cultural richness as the students don traditional attire and turbans while eagerly absorbing knowledge from their mentor. Their expressions reflect curiosity and determination as they strive to broaden their understanding of Islam. Prokudin-Gorskii's expert composition highlights both the architectural beauty of the building behind them and the individuality of each student present. This photograph not only serves as a historical document but also provides insight into the importance placed on education within Islamic communities at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how timeless knowledge truly is and how it continues to shape societies across generations.
