Views of Turkestan
1890s

17 collodion and 39 albumen prints (a total of 56 prints). From 11.5 x 16.5 cm to 12.5 x 18 cm, both portrait and landscape formats. Each flush-mounted to original card. 38 prints numbered in the negative. Each titled in English and Russian in pencil in an unknown hand on the reverse of the mount. - Few cards with traces of usage. Some of the albumen prints slightly faded, the collodion prints mainly in very good condition..

These photographs originate from the estate of Louis Eduard Arnoldt (born 1865 in East Prussia, died 1952 in Berlin), a textile merchant who immigrated to the former Russian territory of Turkestan (modern Uzbekistan) to set up a flourishing cloth and commercial firm in the capital of Taschkent from 1890 to 1901. During this time he also travelled to other cities in regions such as Samarkand and Bukhara.

The subjects:

Views of Taschkent (25), Samarkand and its surroundings (10) and views of various unidentified monuments, streets, marketplaces, squares, agricultural and craft firms as well as group portraits of members of various ethnic groups (18).
