Old Photos of Kashgar in 1915: Kashgar City and Its Characters 100 Years Ago (1)

The photographer of this group of old photos is Percy· Sikes

Percy· Sir Percy Sykes visited Xinjiang, China, from April to November 1915 and photographed many local social life styles. Although the purpose of Peixi’s trip is unknown and his photography technology is not good, these precious photos handed down let us directly see the style and features of Xinjiang 100 years ago, which is very rare

The editor has collected dozens of photos taken by the author at that time. A few of these photos were taken of the city and scenery in Xinjiang at that time (mainly in southern Xinjiang), and most of the photos were taken of people of all ethnic groups at that time. Now we share these photos for everyone to read

Note: This group is the first group of photos, and the English annotation below the photos is the original annotation
