Tea sorting, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Tea sorting, 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 intricate process of tea sorting in the late 19th century, a time when the tea trade with China flourished and played a crucial role in the economy of Transbaikal. Created by Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin, a renowned revolutionary-populist and social activist, this image is part of a remarkable collection that sheds light on various aspects of Transbaikal's history during this period.
Charushin's collection comprises 71 items, including photographs and negatives on glass, offering glimpses into not only the tea industry but also other significant facets of life in Transbaikal. The photographs showcase diverse scenes such as the cultivation and preparation of tea, sections along trade routes, enchanting views from China to Mongolia and Buryatia. Additionally, they provide vivid portrayals of towns and villages within Transbaikal while capturing the essence of local people from different ethnicities and nationalities.
One particularly striking photograph depicts an imposing Russian consulate situated in Urga (now Ulaanbaatar), which was then the capital city of Outer Mongolia. This snapshot serves as a testament to Charushin's ability to capture both grand architectural structures as well as intimate moments that reflect everyday life.
Through his lens, Charushin offers us an invaluable glimpse into an era defined by its economic significance intertwined with cultural diversity. These images not only document historical events but also serve as visual narratives that transport us back to a time when tea trading thrived amidst bustling markets and vibrant communities.
As we explore this exquisite print depicting tea sorting at the end of the 19th century by Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin, we are reminded once again how photography has preserved our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
