EDITORS COMMENTS
This half-length portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Konstantin Nikolaevich Bestzhev-Riumin (1839-1909) in the late 1880s. Bestzhev-Riumin was a renowned Russian historian, ethnographer, and public figure. His extensive research focused on the history of the borderlands between Russia and other European countries, earning him the nickname "The Meeting of Frontiers." The image, taken between 1880 and 1886, portrays Bestzhev-Riumin facing slightly left, his piercing eyes gazing off into the distance. His thick beard frames his angular face, adding to his distinguished appearance. The photograph, reminiscent of the cartes de visite popular during the 19th century, showcases the intricacies of his facial features and the texture of his clothing. Bestzhev-Riumin's professional accomplishments were not limited to his scholarly pursuits. He was also a member of the Russian State Historical Museum and the Russian Geographical Society, and served as a member of the State Council, the highest advisory body to the Tsar. This historic portrait, now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable man who left an indelible mark on Russian history. His legacy continues to inspire researchers and historians, as they delve into the complexities of the past and the meeting of cultures and borders.
