EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithograph, a group of Orochen people, also known as Oroqen or Evenki, are depicted in their traditional camp setting in the northern region of Transbaikalia, Russia, between 1904 and 1917. The image captures the essence of their nomadic lifestyle as they lived in harmony with nature, relying on reindeer herding for their livelihood. The scene is filled with a vibrant palette of colors, showcasing the intricate details of their teepees or yurts, which served as their temporary homes. The Orochen people are dressed in traditional clothing, with the men wearing fur hats and coats, while the women and children are adorned with various accessories. The image also highlights the communication between these nomadic people and the outside world, as evidenced by the presence of a postal service tent in the background. The direct gaze of the subjects, particularly the children, adds a sense of intimacy and authenticity to the photograph. The Orochen people were one of the many ethnic groups that inhabited the Siberian frontier, and their way of life was markedly different from that of their Russian counterparts. This image offers a glimpse into their rich heritage and the meeting of two distinct cultures. The exact creator of this chromolithograph is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the historical record of the Orochen people and the Transbaikal region of Russia during the early 20th century. The National Library of Russia and the Library of Congress hold similar prints in their collections, attesting to its historical significance.
