EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Korean women, 1865-1871," is a striking image from the extensive album created by the Russian photographer V.V. Lanin during his time in the Far East. The album, comprised of 154 photographs, was presented to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg upon Lanin's return from the Amur region. In this photograph, three Korean women are depicted in traditional clothing, seated outdoors. The women wear long, flowing skirts, intricately patterned blouses, and elaborate headpieces. Their clothing is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Korea during the late 19th century. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Korean women during this time, providing valuable insights into their domestic and social customs. The image also highlights the meeting of frontiers, as the Far East was a place where various cultures and traditions came together. The photograph is part of a larger collection of Lanin's works, which also includes images of municipal scenes, native life and culture, views of nature, and commerce along the Amur, Ussuri, and Suifun Rivers. Lanin's photographs are an important contribution to the fields of anthropology, ethnography, and ethnology, offering a unique perspective on the history and heritage of the Far East during the 19th century. This photograph is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the world during a time of great change and exploration. It invites us to appreciate the rich cultural traditions that have shaped our history and continue to influence our world today.
