EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a young Tatar man diligently mowing a sheep in the picturesque town of Schusha, located in Transcaucasia, Russia. The image is an engraving from Basile Vereschaguine's renowned voyage through the provinces of the Caucasus in 1864-1865, which was published in "le tour du monde" under the direction of D Edouard Charton by Hachette, Paris in 1869. The scene showcases a timeless tradition deeply rooted in Russian agriculture and culture. The young Tatar man's commitment to his task exemplifies the enduring spirit of hard work and dedication that has been passed down through generations. As he carefully tends to each stroke with his scythe, one can almost feel the rhythmical motion of his labor. The significance of this moment extends beyond mere farming practices; it symbolizes the intricate relationship between humans and animals. The sheep represents not only a source of wool but also sustenance for its meat - an essential aspect of peasant life during this era. Through this evocative engraving, we are transported back to a time when traditions were cherished and agricultural practices formed the backbone of society. It serves as a reminder that despite technological advancements over time, there is beauty and value in preserving age-old customs that have shaped our history. This remarkable piece from Leonard de Selva's collection allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind such engravings as well as their ability to capture moments
