Brick tea packaging, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Brick tea packaging, end of 19th century.
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, taken by the renowned revolutionary-populist and social and political activist Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin at the end of the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the tea trade in Transbaikal region. The intricately designed brick tea packaging depicted in the image is a testament to the significance of this industry during that era. Charushin, who began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, captured various aspects of Transbaikal history through his collection of 71 photographs and negatives on glass. The collection, which includes this photograph, provides a unique perspective on the region's history, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China. The tea trade was a major economic force in Transbaikal during this period, and the photographs in Charushin's collection illustrate the technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages in the region. Several of the photographs, including this one, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time, showcasing the Russian consulate and other notable landmarks. Charushin's photographs offer a fascinating insight into the past, providing a visual record of a bygone era and the people and cultures that shaped it. This photograph of the brick tea packaging, in particular, is a reminder of the importance of the tea trade in Transbaikal history and the intricate craftsmanship that went into producing and packaging this valuable commodity.
