EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures George Kennan (1845-1924), an American explorer and ethnologist, during his Siberian exile between 1886 and 1890. The image shows Kennan wearing a traditional Siberian outfit, each piece of which was given to him by local exiles. The coat, with its intricate patterns and fur trim, was a generous gift from a fellow exile. The smock, adorned with colorful embroidery, was another addition to his makeshift wardrobe. The headdress, complete with a feather and beads, was a symbol of respect and acceptance among the Siberian community. Kennan's facial hair, with its prominent mustache and goatee, adds to the rugged and adventurous image of the explorer. The leg irons and shackles visible at his feet serve as a reminder of the harsh punishment that led him to Siberia in the first place. This photograph, taken during the 1880s, is a testament to Kennan's determination to understand the people and cultures of the lands he explored. It is a unique and valuable piece of heritage art, showcasing the meeting of frontiers between the United States and Russia. The image is held in the Library of Congress, a fitting location for this historical and cultural treasure.
