A travers le Turkestan russe : ouvrage illustré de deux cent-soixante-cinq gravures d'après les clichés de l'auteur et contenant une carte en couleurs
A travers le Turkestan russe is a 1902 Paris travel book by Hugues Krafft, published by Hachette and illustrated with 265 engravings made from the author's own photographs of Central Asia. The pictures show Turkestan's streets, bazaars and mud-brick architecture, photographed as direct records of everyday life rather than posed studio work. A designer might take from them the sepia tonality, the earthen wall textures and the dense layered compositions of figures in turbans and robes against carved wooden galleries.
