EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Yakuts (From the Lena)" by Karlis Huns, is an ethnographic record of the Yakut people, taken in 1862. The image is part of the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic Description of the Peoples of Russia," a two-volume work published in Saint Petersburg to commemorate the millennium of the Russian Empire. The work, dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, was the brainchild of Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia. Volume 1 of the work consists of 62 color illustrations, including this one of the Yakuts, depicting various ethnic groups from across the Russian Empire in their traditional attire. The album also includes a fold-out table detailing the size of the populations of these groups in the empire's cities and a colored-coded ethnographic map. The Yakuts, also known as the Sakha people, are an indigenous Siberian ethnic group primarily residing in the Sakha Republic of Russia. In the mid-19th century, they were a semi-nomadic people, living in the harsh climate of the Lena River basin. They are known for their skill in reindeer herding and their traditional dwellings, called yarans, which are made of wood and covered with reindeer hides. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the Yakuts during a time when their culture was undergoing significant change due to Russian influence. The image captures the resilience and strength of the Yakut people, who continue to thrive in the far reaches of Siberia today. The "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" is an invaluable historical resource, providing insights into the diverse ethnic landscape of the Russian Empire during the 19th century.
