EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken by the renowned French photographer Michon in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan, located in the Caucasus region. The image showcases the urban landscape of Baku during an era of rapid industrialization, with a focus on the city's burgeoning oil industry. The photograph captures the unique architectural blend of traditional and modern structures, as well as the bustling streets and vibrant scenery. The oil wells, a testament to the city's prosperity during this time, dominate the foreground of the image, their tall, cylindrical structures reaching towards the sky. The wells were a symbol of progress and wealth, attracting travellers and entrepreneurs from around the world. The surrounding buildings, with their ornate facades and intricate details, reflect the diverse cultural influences that shaped Baku's urban landscape. This photograph is an invaluable archival record of a historic period in the city's history, providing a unique perspective on the evolution of Baku from a traditional town to a modern urban center. The image invites us to explore the rich tapestry of history, culture, and tradition that continues to define this fascinating city and country.
