EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Karaites" and created by Karlis Huns in 1862, is a stunning image from the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia." Published in Saint Petersburg to commemorate the millennium of the Russian Empire, this two-volume work was dedicated to Tsar Alexander II and featured 62 colored illustrations depicting various ethnic groups across the empire in their traditional attire. This particular photograph, taken from sheet 23 of volume 1, showcases the Karaites, an ethnic group originating from the Khazar Empire in the Volga region. The Karaites are known for their unique religious practices, which blend elements of Judaism and Islam. In this image, a group of Karaites are seen gathered together, dressed in their traditional clothing. The women wear long, flowing robes with intricate patterns and headscarves, while the men don long coats and tall, pointed hats. The "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" also included a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations in the cities of the empire, as well as a colored-coded ethnographic map. Volume 2 of the work consisted of detailed essays, written in French, about the ethnic groups of the empire, their history, culture, language, and more. Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia, was the mastermind behind this groundbreaking work. The "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" provided a valuable record of the diverse ethnic landscape of the Russian Empire during the mid-19th century, and remains an important historical document to this day.
