Description
Exterior view of a dome and historic site believed to be located in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. According to Charles Thayer's curriculum vitae: "In 1955 I made an extended tour of European and Asiatic Russia and wrote a series for the Saturday Evening Post on post-Stalinist Soviet Union." Although not identified, this photograph is believed to have been taken during that trip. It may be Gur Emir, mausoleum of Asian ruler Tamerlane.
