EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a bustling street in the Old City of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, circa 1910s. The photograph showcases the rich history and culture of this ancient city, with its narrow, cobblestone streets lined with traditional Uzbek houses and vibrant bazaars. At the forefront of the scene, an Arba wagon draws the eye with its large, heavy wheels, perfectly suited for traversing the difficult terrain of the Old City. The Arba, a traditional Uzbek cart or sart, was an essential mode of transportation for the local population, enabling them to transport goods and merchandise from one place to another. The wagon's massive wheels, made of wood and metal, were designed to withstand the rigors of the uneven streets and rough terrain, making them an indispensable part of daily life. The Arba wagon adds a sense of authenticity to the scene, transporting us back to a time when horse-drawn carts and traditional transportation methods were the norm. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the people of Tashkent during this era, offering a window into their customs, traditions, and way of living. This image is a testament to the enduring charm of Tashkent's Old City, where the past and present coexist in a beautiful blend of history, culture, and modernity. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage and celebrating the unique traditions that make each place special.
