EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bulgarians," is an exquisite image taken from Sheet 10 of the ethnographic album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," published in Saint Petersburg in 1862. The album, dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, was created to commemorate the millennium of the founding of the Russian Empire. The work, the brainchild of German ethnographer Gustav-Fedor Pauli, consists of two volumes. The first volume showcases 62 color illustrations depicting various ethnic groups from across the Russian Empire in their traditional attire. This volume also includes a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and the size of their populations in the cities of the empire, as well as a colored-coded ethnographic map. In this particular image, we see a group of Bulgarians, a significant ethnic group residing in the Russian Empire during the 19th century. The Bulgarians are dressed in their traditional clothing, with the men wearing long, flowing robes, and the women wearing embroidered vests and skirts. Their distinctive headwear, including the women's headdresses and the men's felt hats, add to their unique appearance. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural diversity that existed within the Russian Empire during the 1860s. It provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the lives of the Bulgarians and other ethnic groups that once called the empire home. The album, as a whole, represents a significant contribution to the field of ethnography and anthropology, reflecting the state of historical and anthropological knowledge of the time.
