EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Ghimri and Portrait of Hadji-Mourad" takes us on a journey to the Caucasus region in the mid-19th century. The image, engraved by Jules Joseph Augustin Laurens and Eugene Ciceri, was originally published in a book by Adolphe Mouilleron in 1847. The photograph showcases the stunning landscape of Ghimri, a mountainous village nestled amidst nature's grandeur. The viewer is transported to this remote corner of Dagestan, where armed men stand proudly as symbols of power and resilience. Among them sits Hadji-Mourad, an imposing figure exuding strength and determination. Hadji-Mourad's portrait captures his commanding presence as a Muslim Tartar warrior who fought alongside Russian forces against Imam Shamil during the turbulent times of war. His story inspired Leo Tolstoy's novella written in 1904. This historical image not only offers us a glimpse into the past but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural tapestry that weaves together different religions and ethnicities within the Caucasus region. It reminds us of the complexities and conflicts that have shaped its history. As we admire this lithograph from Gagarin's collection, we are reminded that art has the power to transport us through time and space, allowing us to connect with stories long gone but never forgotten.
