EDITORS COMMENTS
This view of the harbor in Baku, Azerbaijan, showcases the bustling port activity during the early 20th century when the city was still under Russian rule. The panoramic image, taken circa 1908, reveals a picturesque coastal scene filled with an array of ships and boats, anchored or underway, dotting the expansive bay. The harbor, a vital transportation hub during this era, is teeming with activity as sailors and workers go about their daily tasks. The rugged coastline, with its rocky cliffs and crashing waves, frames the harbor, adding to its natural beauty. The city of Baku, located in the southern part of Azerbaijan, is nestled in the background, its buildings and structures a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of this fascinating city and its role as a crucial port in the Russian Empire. The photograph's composition, with its balanced use of light and shadow, creates a striking contrast between the tranquil waters and the dynamic energy of the harbor. The overall effect is a breathtaking representation of the unique character and charm of Baku's harbor during a bygone era.
