Welcome back to View Finder an additional offering for paid subscribers of Journeys Beyond Borders where every other Monday I feature a single photograph, from somewhere between Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and explain why it matters.

This week’s striking image is by Vittorio Sella, a brilliant Italian alpinist and photographer who visited Georgia in the 1890s.

But what does his photo below tell us, and why is Sella still important today?

Funeral reception in Becho (Georgia), 1890, Vittorio Sella
