EDITORS COMMENTS
Boris Vasilievich Smirnov's captivating photograph, titled "Krasnoyarsk Cossack, 1904," offers a glimpse into the past of Siberia's rich cultural heritage. Smirnov, a Russian artist, embarked on a journey across Siberia in 1904 as a prisoner transportee. Along the way, he documented his experiences through a series of drawings and watercolors, capturing the essence of the people and places he encountered. This striking portrait showcases a Cossack man from Krasnoyarsk Territory, located in Siberia, Russia. The man's unshaven face, adorned with stubble, is framed by a thick, full beard, while his profile reveals a strong jawline and expressive features. He wears a traditional waistcoat, the upper part of a double-breasted coat, and a long-sleeved shirt, typical of the Cossack attire of the time. The man's head is tilted slightly, adding an air of confidence and intrigue to the image. Smirnov's use of pencil and drawing techniques brings the Cossack's textured clothing and facial features to life, creating a captivating and authentic portrait. The photograph, taken during the early 20th century, serves as a testament to the meeting of frontiers and the diverse people and cultures that shaped the history of Siberia and Russia. This image, held in the Novosibirsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife, is a valuable addition to the world's artistic and historical record.
