Tea drying boilers, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Tea drying boilers, 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)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of tea production in the late 19th century. Taken by Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin, a renowned revolutionary-populist and social activist, this image is part of a collection that provides valuable insights into the history of Transbaikal during that era.
The photograph showcases tea drying boilers, an integral part of the tea trade with China which played a significant role in the region's economy at that time. The meticulous process of growing and preparing tea is beautifully depicted, shedding light on the technological advancements employed during this period.
Charushin's collection goes beyond documenting tea production; it offers glimpses into various aspects of life in Transbaikal. From trade routes to scenic views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and local towns and villages, these photographs provide a comprehensive visual narrative.
One particularly striking image within this collection features the imposing Russian consulate located in Urga (now Ulaanbaatar), then serving as Outer Mongolia's capital. This snapshot serves as a testament to Charushin's ability to capture not only industrial processes but also significant landmarks and cultural sites.
Moreover, these photographs showcase people from diverse ethnicities and nationalities residing in Transbaikal during that era. They offer us an invaluable opportunity to glimpse into their lives and appreciate their contributions to shaping regional history.
Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin's photographic legacy allows us to delve deep into Transbaikal's past while highlighting its connection with neighboring countries through trade routes like those dedicated to tea commerce with China.
