EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ostiacks on the Banks of the River Oby, c 1700" offers a glimpse into the lives of indigenous people from Siberia during the 18th century. The image showcases a family immersed in their natural surroundings, with the river Oby serving as both a source of sustenance and a means of transportation. In this scene, we witness an indigenous woman proudly holding up a sturgeon she has caught. Her expertise in fishing is evident as she stands confidently alongside her male counterpart who wields his bow and arrow, ready for any potential game that may cross their path. A child can be seen observing this display of skill and survival techniques, learning from those who came before them. The print not only captures the essence of daily life for these Siberian natives but also highlights their resourcefulness in utilizing nature's offerings to sustain themselves. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with our environment and how different cultures adapt to thrive within it. This remarkable engraving was featured in Evert Ysbrants Ides' book "Three Years Travels from Moscow over-land to China" published in London in 1706. Its inclusion provides valuable insight into early explorations and encounters between European travelers and indigenous communities across vast territories like Russia. As we admire this historical artifact today, let us appreciate its significance in preserving cultural heritage while reminding us to respect and cherish our diverse world.
