Iconographic Heritage of the Caucasus
The Photographic Collections of Baron de Baye
Abstract
Famous archaeologist and ethnographer Joseph Berthelot Baron de Baye (1853‑1931) travelled to the Caucasus in 1897‑1904. The photographs taken during his travels are kept in museums, archives and private collections in France. We have developed an integrated database for the consolidation of these photo collections, which allowed us to specify the place, the date of the shots, as well as to identify the people and architectural monuments. The article analyses the importance of these photographs in terms of the development of the history of photography and also discusses their role in cultural transfer between the Caucasus and Europe.
