EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Physiognomy - Northern Russian Type (1/2)", dates back to the year 1902 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the facial morphology of the Northern Russian population during that era. The image captures a full front face view of an individual, likely from the region of Siberia, Russia, wearing a traditional woollen hat adorned with a bobble. The term "Physiognomy" refers to the ancient belief that the features of a person's face reveal their character or personality. In this context, the photograph is an example of ethnographic documentation, providing valuable insights into the physical characteristics of the Northern Russian population. The individual's facial features, including the broad forehead, deep-set eyes, and prominent nose, are typical of the region's inhabitants. The thick, woolly hat not only serves as a protective layer against the harsh Northern Russian climate but also adds to the intrigue of the image. This photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Russia and offers a unique window into the past, inviting us to explore the history and traditions of this fascinating region.
