EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Wallachians and Moldovans" by Karl Fiale, is a captivating glimpse into the ethnic diversity of the Russian Empire during the mid-19th century. The image is taken from Sheet 15 of the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia," published in Saint Petersburg in 1862. Dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, this two-volume work aimed to document the various ethnic groups inhabiting the vast Russian Empire, marking the millennium of its founding. Volume 1 of this comprehensive ethnographic study consists of 62 color illustrations, including this one, showcasing the traditional attire of different ethnicities. The album also includes a fold-out table detailing the size of the populations of these groups in major cities throughout the empire and a colored-coded ethnographic map. In this photograph, Wallachians and Moldovans are depicted as they were in 1862. Wallachians, also known as Vlachs, are an ethnic group originating from the Carpathian Mountains, while Moldovans are a Romanian ethnicity primarily inhabiting the historical region of Moldavia. Their traditional clothing, with intricate embroidery, vibrant colors, and distinctive headgear, is a testament to their rich cultural heritage. The "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" was the work of Gustav-Fedor Pauli (1817-1867), a German ethnographer who immigrated to Russia. This photograph, along with the rest of the album, offers a fascinating window into the ethnographic and historical knowledge of the 1860s, providing valuable insights into the diverse peoples of the Russian Empire.
