Asian Men, 1880. Creator: Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov
Asian Men, 1880.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Asian Men" by Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov, is a captivating glimpse into the multicultural landscape of Transbaikal Russia during the late 19th century. The image features a group of Asian men, dressed in traditional clothing, gathered around what appears to be a tea-making process. The men's expressions are thoughtful and focused, as they go about their work, showcasing the dedication and skill required for the tea trade, which was a significant economic force in the region at that time. The photograph is part of a collection of 71 items, including photographs and negatives on glass, created by the revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin and N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, and the collection offers a unique perspective on the history of the region during this period. The collection illustrates various aspects of Transbaikal history, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China. The photographs show technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal. Several of the photographs, including this one, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time, showcasing the diverse ethnicities and nationalities that coexisted in the region. Petrov's photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Transbaikal Russia and the complex web of relationships that existed between Russia and its neighbors during this period. It invites us to reflect on the past and the connections that continue to bind us together, despite the passage of time.
