EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Yakuts" from the album "Views of the Yakutsk Region," dates back to the late 19th century. The image showcases two Yakut people, an ethnic group indigenous to the Siberian region of Russia, standing in full length against a stark, snowy backdrop. The man, dressed in traditional fur clothing, wears a fur hat and holds a long, wooden staff. The woman, also dressed in fur, wears a colorful headscarf and holds a child in her arms. Their serious expressions and direct gaze convey a sense of resilience and pride in the face of the harsh Siberian climate. The album, which contains 151 photographs, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Yakut people and the surrounding region. Other images depict various forms of river transport, including boats, rafts, trade barges, and steamships, as well as post offices, horse and reindeer transport, and the Lena River shore. Several of the photographs bear the initials I.P., believed to be those of Irkutsk State University, suggesting that this collection may have been used for educational or scientific purposes. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Yakut people and the historic meeting of frontiers between European and Asian civilizations in the Russian Empire. Its black and white, vintage aesthetic adds to its timeless allure, making it a valuable addition to any collection of anthropology or ethnography.
