Dmitri Ermakov, Chronicler of the Caucasus. Exceptional ethnographic photographs from 1870s Georgia - a meeting point between Asia, Russia and Europe - plus the story of this remarkable archive.
[found via @ZunguZungu’s Sunday Reading list in the New Inquiry]
Worth reading alongside Images of the East in the same blog, which provides an introduction to the European craze for Orientalist photography from about 1860-1900, and a map linking to other photoessays in this series.
