Atlas anthropologique des peuples du Ferghanah. Paris: Ernest Leroux, 1879. 4to (260 x 174 mm). 16 pp, 34 (of 70) loose albumen photographs depicting inhabitants of the Fergana region of Uzbekistan, the images approximately 130 x 100 mm each, mounted separately and numbered, housed in a modern album. Text volume in original paper wrappers, good, chipped at edges with some repairs. Charles Eugene de Ujfalvy de Mezo-Kovesd (Karoly Ujfalvy von Mezokovesd) was born in Transylvania, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He settled in France, and taught Asian history and geography at the School of Oriental Languages. The Ministry of Education sent him on a mission to Russia, Siberia, Turkestan and Uzbekistan in 1876, and it was probably on these journeys that he recorded these images of locals in the region.
