Bailey Collection: Photographs of Turkestan. Photographer: Alexander R. Krijoff
- Scope & Content:
-
Collection of 12 loose prints, with extensive notes by the photographer written on the backs. The photographs mainly consist of portraits of Turki and Kirghiz types. No information on Krijoff has been traced, although he appears to have been working, informally at least, as a British informant, as one photograph identifies the subject as working for the Russians: He is no doubt Soviet spy in Karasu. About him I informed the British Aksakal in Tashkurghan. Another is inscribed: This is another group of Soviet spays [sic] in 'Bassik Kul' one day journey from Karasu to Kashgar direction...Photo taken by me especially for information.
