EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Russian photographer V.V. Lanin between 1865 and 1871, showcases a group of Goldi people from the Usuri region in the Far East. The Goldi, also known as the Nanai or Hezhe, are an indigenous people of Northeast Asia, inhabiting the Amur-Heilong Basin. The image portrays a sense of raw authenticity, as the Goldi men, women, and children pose confidently before the camera, with their direct gaze and unadorned attire. Their clothing, consisting of simple coats and trousers for the men, and long dresses or skirts for the women, reflects the harsh climate and resourcefulness of their environment. The boys in the photograph are barefoot, a common practice in their culture, and their hair is worn in various styles, some short and others long and braided. The Goldi people were skilled hunters, fishermen, and farmers, living in harmony with nature and relying on the abundant resources of their land. This photograph offers a glimpse into their daily lives, capturing the essence of their heritage and the unique character of the region. V.V. Lanin's album of 154 photographs, presented to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg by merchant V.P. Myl'nikov upon his return from the Amur region, is a valuable historical record of the diverse people and landscapes of the Far East during the 19th century. This image, in particular, stands out for its poignant representation of the Goldi people and their connection to their land.
