Ihsan Karim Ali Shah, Pir of Wakhan Maulais, at Wanukut. Photographer: Stein, Marc Aurel
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length seated portrait, similar to print 894. 'At the hamlet of Wenukut I was able to pay a visit to Ihsan Karim Ali Shah, the chief 'Pir' of the Ismailias of Wakhan, who was staying there to perform faith-healing on a sick 'Murid' or devotee. The old man, worshipped as a great saint, claimed an age of well over a hundred years, and his bodily state seemed to support this. Yet his mental faculties were not impaired, and to my surprise he furnished exact data which left no doubt about his having at his home been the host of Captain Wood, when in the winter of 1838 he was on his way to the Pamirs. He had clear recollections, too, of the tyrannical rule of Sultan Murad of Kunduz, often named in Wood's classic narrative.' (ii, 866).
