1870s 1880s Asiatic Cartes De Visite Siberia Siberian Meeting Of Frontiers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures the enigmatic presence of an unidentified man from the late 19th century. Dressed in traditional Asian attire, he sits before a plain backdrop, facing slightly left with a thoughtful expression. The image, estimated to have been taken between 1870 and 1886, is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the time. The man's clothing, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, is reminiscent of the distinctive styles prevalent in Siberia during this era. His hat, with its distinctive shape and ornamentation, adds to the authenticity of the portrait. The photograph, a popular format during this period known as cartes de visite, showcases the man's well-groomed appearance and the fine details of his attire. The location of the portrait is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken in Russia, given the man's Asian attire. This image offers a glimpse into the meeting of frontiers and the blending of cultures that characterized the late 19th century. The portrait is a valuable addition to the Heritage Art collection at the Library of Congress, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the diverse heritage that continues to shape our world today. The man's stoic demeanor and the intricacies of his clothing invite the viewer to ponder his story and the circumstances that led him to be captured on film. This portrait is a poignant reminder of the human connection that transcends time and place, and the power of art to preserve and celebrate our shared history.
