Two men and a woman of Asian appearance, 1880. Creator: Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov
Two men and a woman of Asian appearance, 1880.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Two men and a woman of Asian appearance," was captured by Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov in the late 19th century. The image is part of a collection of 71 photographs and negatives on glass, created by the revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin and Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, and this collection offers a unique glimpse into the history of the region during this period. The Transbaikal Territory, located in eastern Siberia, was an important hub for the tea trade with China, which was a significant branch of the regional economy. Petrov's photograph captures three individuals of Asian appearance, likely involved in this trade. Their attire and demeanor suggest a sense of commerce and exchange, reflecting the cultural and economic connections between China and Transbaikal at the time. The collection, which includes images of various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, offers a rich and diverse portrayal of the region's history. Several of the photographs, including this one, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at the time, which further highlights the importance of the region's connections to China and other parts of Asia. Petrov's photograph is a poignant reminder of the complex and intricate relationships that existed between different communities during this period, and the role that trade and cultural exchange played in shaping the history of the Transbaikal Territory and beyond.
