A typical Turkmen of the Akhal-Tekke tribe [Ashkhabad?]. Photographer: Teague-Jones, Reginald
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Full-length standing portrait, with rifle. 'Prior to the summer of 1918 the native tribesmen had never been permitted to possess modern firearms. In June 1918, one month before this photograph was taken, the population, both Russian and native, had risen in revolt and overthrew the Russian Soviet in Askhabad. In desperation, the Russian leaders of the revolt distributed some 5,000 military rifles and ammunition to the local Turkmen, thereby creating yet another inflammable element in an already explosive situation.'
[Gelatin silver print (modern print), 114x183mm].
