EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ural Cossack (in the steppes), 1862" is a remarkable piece of historical documentation. Created by Karpov, it is part of the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia), which was published in Saint Petersburg in 1862 to commemorate the millennium of the Russian Empire.
The album consists of two volumes, with Volume 1 containing 62 vividly colored illustrations showcasing various ethnic groups from across the empire dressed in their traditional attire. Additionally, this volume includes a fold-out table providing valuable information on population sizes and distribution among different cities within the empire. A beautifully crafted ethnographic map further enhances our understanding by visually representing which ethnic groups inhabited specific regions.
Volume 2 delves into comprehensive essays written in French about these diverse ethnic communities. Authored by Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who immigrated to Russia, these essays offer detailed insights into each group's history, culture, language, and more – reflecting the knowledge available during that era.
The featured image captures an Ural Cossack amidst vast steppes – an evocative representation that transports us back to this significant period in Russian history. The Ural Cossacks were known for their bravery and skills as horsemen and played a crucial role in protecting Russia's borders.
As we admire this print today, let us appreciate its significance as a testament to cultural diversity within one of history's most expansive empires. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable resource for scholars interested in exploring Russia's rich tapestry of traditions and customs throughout time.
