EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Finns. (Suoma-layzet), 1862," is a remarkable piece from the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie." Created by A Derzhanovskii, this print offers a window into the ethnic groups that resided within the vast expanse of the Russian Empire during its millennial celebration in 1862.
The two-volume work, dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, showcases Volume 1's collection of vivid illustrations depicting various ethnic communities across Russia in their traditional attire. Alongside these stunning visuals lies a fold-out table revealing population sizes and an ethnographic map color-coded to illustrate each group's geographical distribution throughout the empire.
Volume 2 delves deeper into detailed essays written in French by Gustav-Fedor Pauli, an esteemed German ethnographer who immigrated to Russia. These essays provide invaluable insights into each ethnic group's history, culture, language, and more - offering readers a comprehensive understanding of these diverse communities as understood through anthropological and historical knowledge of that era.
Through this extraordinary compilation of images and texts, we are transported back to a time when cultural diversity flourished within one empire. The photograph itself captures an essence unique to Finns or Suoma-layzet people - their distinct clothing reflecting their rich heritage and traditions.
