Title:
A Tartar House in the Village of Alupka
Description:
View of Tatar house in Alupka with Crimean mountains in the background. Tatars stand and sit in the foreground outside the house.
Bossoli's note: "Such houses are generally constructed abutting a large rock, the side of which is used as a wall. The roof is flat, and upon it, when the weather is fair, the inhabitants commonly assemble, working or enjoying one another's society."
