EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1890 in Baku, Azerbaijan. The scene depicts a bustling street on the coast of the Caspian Sea, offering a glimpse into daily life during this era. The sketch-like quality adds an artistic touch to the image, transporting us to a time long gone. In this snapshot of history, we see men going about their business as they navigate through the busy streets. A horse-drawn cart dominates the foreground, carrying various goods and supplies for trade or personal use. The Persian influence is evident in their attire and mannerisms, adding cultural depth to the scene. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke captures not only the physical appearance but also hints at each individual's story. Unidentified faces fill our imagination with tales of hard work and determination amidst a rapidly changing world. The presence of water in the background reminds us that Baku was once known for its thriving maritime industry. It served as a hub for trade routes connecting East and West, making it an important city during this period. As we observe this turn-of-the-century tableau, we are transported back in time—a testament to how art can preserve moments from history that would otherwise be lost forever. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this engraving from 1890 by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection so that future generations can appreciate and learn from these glimpses into our past.
