Collection. The collection documents the expedition made by Henry René d'Allemagne, archivist and paleographist at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal in Paris, to Central Asia and Turkestan, on behalf of the French Ministry of Education, in 1898. The mission—touching Kiev, Odessa, Vladikavkaz, Tbilisi, Baku, Krasnovodsk (today Türkmenbaşy) and the cities along the railway connecting Ashgabat to Bukhara and Samarkand—was intended to survey ancient monuments in Transcaspia and Turkestan. Photographs include views of the above-mentioned cities, pictures of the Ulugbek Madrasa, Kyrgyz yurts and more traditional architectures; portraits of Caucasian type, Russian soldiers and Turkmen riders.
