EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, captures the ethereal beauty of a Yakut woman adorned in her festive attire. The image is part of the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, which contains 151 photographs, held at the Library of Congress, Irkutsk State University. The album documents various aspects of life along the Lena River, including forms of transportation, post offices, and scenes of daily life. The woman in the photograph is dressed in traditional Yakut clothing, which includes a long, fur-trimmed coat, a colorful, patterned dress, and a decorative hat. The intricate design of her clothing reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Yakut people, who have inhabited the Siberian region for centuries. The woman's pose is confident and regal, her eyes meeting the camera with a steady gaze. The photograph is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between the traditional ways of life of indigenous peoples and the encroaching influence of the Russian Empire. The Yakut people, also known as the Sakha, have a long and complex history, and their traditional clothing continues to be an important aspect of their cultural identity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the world of a people and a region that have shaped the history of Russia and Siberia. The photograph is a black and white, full-length portrait, taken in the 19th century. The image is a valuable resource for scholars of anthropology, ethnography, and ethnology, as well as for those interested in the history of clothing and fashion. The photograph is a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage and the role that historical images play in shaping our understanding of the past.
