Fishermen on Lake Zaisan, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
Fishermen on Lake Zaisan, 1909. This image is from Vidy territorii Sibirskogo kazach'ego voiska (Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host), one of three albums depicting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. These albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The albums were part of a collection of photographs assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. The photographs in the albums were taken in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev (son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev), during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk). Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife

Fishermen on Lake Zaisan, 1909
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph by Russian artist Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev, showcasing a group of Cossack fishermen at work on the shores of Lake Zaisan in present-day Kazakhstan. The image is part of the "Views of the territory of the Siberian Cossack Host" album, which was created for the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The photograph depicts several men, dressed in traditional Cossack attire, standing along the edge of a lake, engaged in the laborious task of mending their fishing nets. In the foreground, one man is carefully untangling a fishing net, while another man, with a determined expression on his face, holds a large fishing net taut against the shore. The lake's calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, and in the distance, a few boats are anchored along the coast. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan during the early 20th century. The image captures the meeting of frontiers between the Russian and Tarbagatay Kazakhstan Central Asia, showcasing the diverse cultural heritage of the region. The photograph's historic significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the collection of the Museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk, which assembled photographs between 1891 and 1918. This full-length portrait of the fishermen on the shores of Lake Zaisan is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Cossacks and their way of life, which continues to be celebrated and studied by historians, anthropologists, and artists alike. The photograph's timeless beauty and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection of Russian and Central Asian history, culture, and art.
