EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Street in Samarkand, between 1905 and 1915" is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned Russian photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky during his extensive journey through Central Asia in the early 20th century. This image is part of his album titled "Views in Central Asia, Russian Empire," now housed in the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., USA. The photograph depicts a bustling street scene in Samarkand, an ancient city located in present-day Uzbekistan. Prokudin-Gorsky masterfully captures the meeting of diverse cultures and traditions as people from all walks of life go about their daily routines. In the foreground, two boys playfully ride a donkey, their laughter echoing through the narrow, cobblestone street. A group of men, dressed in traditional Uzbek attire, engage in a lively conversation, their faces expressing a range of emotions. The photograph is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Central Asia during the Russian Empire era. Prokudin-Gorsky's exceptional use of sepia tones adds depth and authenticity to the image, transporting us back in time. The photographer's meticulous approach to capturing the essence of his subjects is evident in this striking photograph, which continues to captivate viewers with its vibrant energy and historical significance. Prokudin-Gorsky's work is a valuable contribution to the annals of world photography, offering a unique perspective on a bygone era. This photograph, in particular, is a poignant reminder of the diverse and complex history that connects Russia, Central Asia, and the United States.
