Brick tea packaging, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Brick tea packaging, end of 19th century.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

1. Title: "Brick Tea Packaging, End of 19th Century". This photograph, taken by the renowned revolutionary-populist and social and political activist Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin in the late 19th century, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the tea trade in Transbaikal, Russia. The image showcases an intricately designed brick tea packaging, a common method for transporting and storing tea during this era. Charushin's collection, comprised of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass), provides a unique perspective on Transbaikal history, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade, which was a significant economic force in the region at the time. The photographs in this collection illustrate various aspects of tea cultivation, preparation, and trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages in Transbaikal. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. Despite the challenging circumstances, he continued to document the world around him, capturing moments in time that offer valuable insights into the history and culture of the region. Several of the photographs, including this one, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at the time, showcasing the Russian consulate and various aspects of life in this bustling trading hub. This photograph, in particular, highlights the intricate design and craftsmanship that went into the packaging of tea bricks during this period. The intricate patterns and detailed labeling demonstrate the importance of the tea trade and the care taken to ensure the quality and authenticity of the product. Charushin's photograph serves as a testament to the rich history of the tea trade in Transbaikal and the cultural exchange that took place between Russia and China during this period.
