EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created by Ivan Dem'ianovich Bulychev in 1856, depicts two Yakut men dressed in traditional clothing, standing against a backdrop of their arctic homeland in Siberia. Bulychev, a member of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, captured this image as part of his extensive documentation of expeditions to Siberia and the Russian Far East during the late 19th century. The Yakuts, also known as the Sakha people, are an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the vast and extreme northern and eastern regions of Russia. Their traditional attire, as shown in this illustration, is characterized by fur garments, including fur hats and collars, designed to protect them from the harsh climate. This image is part of a larger collection of 64 finely drawn illustrations, most in color, taken from various publications and bound together in an album. The collection, titled "A journey across eastern Siberia: Part 1, Trip to Kamchatka," is now housed in the Prints Division of the National Library of Russia. The meeting of frontiers between the Russian empire and the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Far East is a significant historical topic, and this image offers a unique glimpse into the lives of the Yakuts during the 19th century. The rich, detailed illustration invites us to explore the heritage, culture, and traditions of this remarkable people.
