Framed Print of Russian troops entering the city of Khiva at the Hazar-Asp Gate, 1873. Creator: Unknown
Russian troops entering the city of Khiva at the Hazar-Asp Gate, 1873. We are indebted to Mr. M'Gachan, the special correspondent of the New York Herald, who accompanied the Russian military expedition in Central Asia six months ago, for placing at our disposal two sketches, by M. Formstecher and M. Gibert, representing scenes of particular interest...Here we see the Russian troops marching through one of the city gates. This Turkoman metropolis is situated on the banks of two watercourses belonging to the network of the Palban Ata canal, and is protected by a clay wall, about five miles in circumference and 10ft. high. Within this wall there is another...22 ft. high, the foundations and lower portions of which are 28 ft. thick. This interior wall protects the palaces of the Khan, the houses of the most important dignitaries, and some ecclesiastical schools (Medresseh), of which there are no less than twenty-two. The better to defend the inner town, which serves as a citadel, twenty guns are placed on the wall. The whole town has 20, 000 inhabitants, with seventeen mosques and 300 shops; the space between the inner and the outer wall being to a great extent planted with gardens, amidst which is the summer residence of Mohammed Rachim Khan'.
