EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Georgian. Imeretin," is a stunning representation of the traditional attire of the Imeretian people from the region of Imereti in western Georgia, taken by Frants Taikhel in 1862. The image is part of the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia," which was published in Saint Petersburg to commemorate the millennium of the founding of the Russian Empire. The album, consisting of two volumes, was dedicated to Tsar Alexander II and featured 62 colored illustrations, including this one, showcasing the diverse ethnic groups residing within the empire. Volume 1, which includes this photograph, also features a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations in various cities, as well as a colored-coded ethnographic map. The photograph itself is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Imeretian people, whose traditional clothing is depicted in intricate detail. The woman in the image wears a long, flowing skirt adorned with intricate embroidery, a fitted bodice, and a shawl draped over her shoulders. Her head is covered with a headdress made of fabric and adorned with beads and other decorative elements. The album, which was the work of German ethnographer Gustav-Fedor Pauli, reflects the state of anthropological and historical knowledge of the 1860s and provides a valuable record of the ethnic diversity of the Russian Empire during this time period.
