EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A Woman with a Cradle," dates back to 1890 and is a fascinating glimpse into the domestic life of the Buryat people in the Yakutsk Region during the late 19th century. The image, part of the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, showcases a woman in traditional ethnic attire, seated on the ground with a cradle in front of her. The cradle, which appears to be made of woven bamboo or reeds, is a common traditional design used by the indigenous peoples of Siberia. The woman's bare feet are visible, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph provides a window into the daily life of the Buryat people, who were known for their close connection to nature and their reliance on the land for their livelihood. The image also highlights the importance of family and the role of women in caring for their infants. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the cultural heritage and traditions of the Buryat people during the Russian Empire era. This image, along with the other 150 photographs in the album, is part of the Irkutsk State University collection, now housed at the Library of Congress.
