Georgian mountaineers, 1873. 'The provinces of Georgia, Mingrelia, and Imeritia, extending along the south-western slopes and valleys of the Caucasus, between the Caspian and the Black Sea, are now likely to become more familiar to European travellers through the opening of the Poti and Tiflis Railway. M. Gustav Kalarantoff, a Russian artist and photographer at Tiflis, has furnished us with a collection of figures illustrative of the strangely-mixed races of people inhabiting those districts'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
