This photograph, titled "Physiognomy - Northern Russian Type - Woman (1/2)" and dated 1902, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Russia and Asia. The image captures a full-face, front view of a woman, her features embodying the distinct physiognomy of the Northern Russian region. Her almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and straight, dark hair are characteristic of the Asian influence in Russian morphology. The woman wears a simple yet elegant blouse, adorned with a decorative medal, suggesting her possible social standing or religious affiliation.

The woman's appearance reflects the blending of Asian and European influences, a testament to the complex history of Russia and its neighboring regions. This image is an essential addition to any collection focusing on anthropology, ethnography, or the history of Russia and Asia. In conclusion, this photograph, with its striking composition and historical significance, invites us to explore the intricacies of human morphology and the rich cultural heritage of Russia and Asia.
