EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "They Caught a Reindeer," is a striking image from the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, dating back to 1890. The album, which contains 151 photographs, offers a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people of Siberia, Russia, during the late 19th century. This particular photograph showcases a group of figures, likely Buryat or Yakut people, in the process of capturing a reindeer. The snow-covered landscape adds to the wintery scene, with the Lena River and its icy shoreline visible in the background. The use of horse-drawn carts and reindeer as transportation methods further emphasizes the traditional way of life in this region. The photograph, signed with the initials I.P., is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, Irkutsk State University. This image is an important historical document, providing valuable insights into the meeting of frontiers between the Russian Empire and indigenous communities, and the anthropological and ethnological significance of their ways of life. The photograph's timeless quality and the raw, unscripted moment of the capture make it a compelling addition to any collection of historic images.
