119914c. early 20th century. The dawn of cotton monoculture A rare insight into the cotton industry in Russian-occupied Central Asia seen through an intriguing collection of photographs. The images include three bustling bazar scenes in Khodzhakala flats for the personnel in Kokand and industrial scenes of factories and storage units in Tashkent and Bukhara. Russians arrived in Central Asia in the 1860s to a largely agrarian economy based on sedentary farming and livestock herding. During the following annexation which prompted the Great Game food crops were substituted with cotton. Even before the October Revolution "white gold" became the main cash crop in Central Asia. Under Russian control "the area under irrigation was expanded especially towards the end of the century when work on the Mirzachol Sahra Golodnaya Step' and the Murghab Imperial Domain schemes was virtually completed. The Fergana Valley cotton acreage also increased" Matley. American cotton varieties were introduced in the 1880s and one of the photographs shows Gwathmey carding machinery. The substitution of cotton for food crops became problematic when the region became completely cut off from grain supplies from Russia in 1918. "Unrest in the region due to the activities of anti-Communist partisans b sma caused the destruction of irrigation systems and a drop in food production. Between 1919 and 1923 there were severe famines and over one million people died" Matley. Harvesting was mechanized in earnest by Soviet central planners in the late 1950s and cotton remains one of the most significant crops in the area today. 16 matte silver prints approximately 120 x 170 mm mounted recto and verso on plain card approximately 235 x 305 mm captioned in Russian on mounts in black ink. Silver mirroring or fading to edges occasional very minor surface abrasions 3 with small areas of skinning; mounts toned edges a little worn and damp-stained remnants of glue from sometime being bound in album: very good examples.
