EDITORS COMMENTS
Haymaking, 1909" is a captivating photograph by Russian artist Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev, showcasing the rural life of Siberian Cossacks during the early 20th century. The image is taken from "Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma" (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), one of three albums depicting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. The photograph was taken in 1909 during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk) by Katanaev, the son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev. The albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The photograph captures a couple of Cossacks, a man and a woman, engaged in haymaking outside a log cabin. The man, with a direct gaze and a serious expression, rides a horse while the woman, with a profile view, stands near the oval-shaped haystack, looking at the camera. The horses are tethered nearby, and the scene exudes a sense of hard work and community. The image is a testament to the rich heritage of the Cossacks, a Slavic people who played a significant role in the history of Russia, particularly in the conquest and settlement of Siberia. The photograph's historical value lies in its ability to transport us back in time and offer a glimpse into the daily lives of these intrepid settlers. The photograph is a valuable addition to the collection of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk, now part of the Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife. It is a still image that speaks volumes about the meeting of frontiers, the rugged terrain, and the resilient spirit of the people who inhabited it.
