An empire? Looks more like a guy sitting by a building. I’d think a picture of an empire would be a map.
Fun fact, he was the last monarch descended from the mongol empire, and only got overthrown by the Red Army.
This picture is anything but “rare”. One of the most famous works of Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, a pioneer of color photography.
The man in the photo is Sayyid Mir Muhammad Alim Khan, the last emir (absolutist ruler) of Bukhara, then protectorate of the Russian Empire, nowadays part of Uzbekistan.
Dont be rude. He’s big but he is not *that* big
Is that keiser Nicholas-2 ?
Ah yes, the picture of uncle Kamal hours before he came out as gay.
I find these pictures interesting. The silk roads played such a vital role in the whole east /west trade for centuries.
He had drip
Jahrein?
I don’t know what he’s sitting on, but I feel sorry for it.
This must be before the food shortages started.
So, that man is named “Russian Empire “?
he is the last ruler descendant of Genghis Khan,wow.
