Content Provider	Library of Congress - Photographs
Spatial Coverage	Russia (Federation) Asia, Central
Description	Photographic survey of Central Asia, primarily in and around Samarkand (Samarqand), Bukhara (Bukhoro), and Golodnaia Steppe (Betpak-Dala). Many views show vernacular architecture, madrasahs, mosques, minarets, and mosaics (including Bibi-Khanum, Bogoeddin, Gur-Emir, Passage of the Dead, Shakh-i Zindeh, Shir-Dar, the Registan, Tillia-Kari, the tomb of Baian-Kuli-Khan, and Uluk-Bek). Images also document bridges, canals, and dams. Includes landscapes of Zaravshan valley and mountain ridge (taken from Chapan-Ata), rivers, and apricot flowers and trees. Also includes a single image of an indigenous form of polo (Baiga) being played on a hillside, and a single image of a group of people in the Tian-Shan (Tien Shan) mountains, above the Saliuktin mines, observing a solar eclipse on January 1, 1907. Portraits show local inhabitants, often identified by ethnicity (Sarts, Jews, Kirghiz) or occupation (melon vendor, fabric merchant, native police, water carrier, flatbread vendor, mullah, shepherd). One portrait shows the Emir of Bukhara.
