EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "In the Woods," is a stunning image from the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, dating back to 1890. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it is believed to be part of a larger collection housed at Irkutsk State University in Russia. The photograph transports us to a bygone era, with the tranquil beauty of the Siberian woods on full display. Snow-covered trees stretch towards the sky, their branches reaching out like fingers in an intricate dance. The woods are alive with the presence of indigenous people, who are seen in various poses, engaging in their daily activities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Buryat and Sakha people, who inhabited the Yakutsk region during the late 19th century. The region was a meeting place of frontiers, where different ethnic groups came together, exchanging goods, ideas, and traditions. The photograph also showcases the diverse modes of transportation prevalent during that time. Horses and reindeer are seen carrying people and goods through the snowy woods, while boats and rafts are used to navigate the Lena River. The arrival of steamships marked a significant shift in transportation, making the region more accessible to the outside world. The "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album is a valuable historical document, offering insights into the lives of indigenous peoples during the Russian Empire. This photograph, in particular, is a testament to the beauty and resilience of the people and the natural world they inhabited.
