Spreading of fish, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
Spreading of fish, 1909. This image is from Vidy territorii Sibirskogo kazach'ego voiska (Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host), 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. These albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The albums were part of a collection of photographs assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. The photographs in the albums were taken in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev (son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev), during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk). Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife

Spreading of Fish, 1909 - A Glimpse into the Life of Siberian Cossacks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Spreading of Fish, 1909," offers a fascinating insight into the territories, culture, and way of life of the Siberian Cossack Host. Created by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev as part of the "Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host" album collection, this image showcases a pivotal moment in history.
The photograph was taken during N.G. Katanaev's journey to Stepnoi krai in western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. It depicts a group of fishermen diligently engaged in their daily work along the coastal region. The men are shown filleting fish on a table outdoors while surrounded by other fishing equipment and furniture.
Through this still image, we catch a glimpse into the rich heritage art and historical significance associated with these communities. The resilience and hard work displayed by these individuals reflect their deep connection to nature and their reliance on aquatic life for sustenance.
Preserved within Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife's collection since its creation between 1891 and 1918, this photograph is an invaluable piece that captures not only Russia's history but also Slavic traditions.
As we admire this remarkable portrait captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder that photographs have an extraordinary power to transport us back in time. They allow us to witness significant moments like this meeting point between man and frontier—a testament to human perseverance amidst challenging environments.
Let us cherish such glimpses into our past as they provide valuable insights into diverse cultures while celebrating both individual achievements and collective legacies.
