Tea queue, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Tea queue, end of 19th century.
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 photograph, titled 'Tea Queue, end of 19th century,' is a striking image from the collection of 71 items created by the revolutionary-populist and social and political activist Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin (1851-1937) and N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, and this collection provides a unique insight into the history of the region during this period. The photograph illustrates the bustling activity of a tea queue, a common sight in the Transbaikal region during the late 19th century when the tea trade with China was a significant economic force. The long line of people, dressed in traditional clothing, wait patiently for their turn to purchase tea from the merchant at the far end of the queue. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and community, as the people of various ethnicities and nationalities come together to participate in this essential aspect of daily life. Charushin's photograph offers a glimpse into the technological processes of growing and preparing tea, as well as sections of the trade routes that connected Transbaikal to China. The collection also includes views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, providing a rich and diverse portrayal of the region during this time. Several of the photographs, including this one of the tea queue, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time, which is now known as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. Charushin's photographic work is an invaluable historical record, offering a unique perspective on the social, economic, and cultural life of Transbaikal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
