EDITORS COMMENTS
A Tartar School; The Caucasus," captured in an 1875 photograph from Henry Walter Bates' "Illustrated Travels," offers a captivating glimpse into the educational environment of the Caucasus region during the late 19th century. The image, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, depicts a group of Tartar boys engrossed in their studies, seated on the floor of a simple, indoor classroom. The boys wear traditional Tartar clothing, including papakha hats and long, flowing garments. The photograph, taken by an unknown artist, provides a window into the daily life of this Turkic people, who inhabited the mountainous region between the Black and Caspian Seas. The boys' intense focus on their studies reflects the importance of education in Tartar culture, as well as the influence of Russian rule in the region. The interior of the school building is sparsely furnished, with a single window providing the only natural light. The boys' desks and chairs are simple, made of wood, and the walls are adorned with maps and illustrations. The photograph's black and white composition adds to its timeless and evocative quality. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Caucasus region and the enduring tradition of education. It also underscores the importance of preserving historical records and artifacts, as they provide valuable insights into the past and help to foster a deeper understanding of diverse communities and their histories. This photograph, taken over a century ago, continues to captivate viewers with its authentic portrayal of a Tartar school in The Caucasus, offering a glimpse into a bygone era and a reminder of the importance of education and cultural preservation.
