Transbaikal Buryats, 1862
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia," created by the German ethnographer Gustav-Fedor Pauli. This image, taken by Karlis Huns, is from sheet 51 of volume 1, published in Saint Petersburg in 1862 to commemorate the millennium of the founding of the Russian Empire. The album consists of 62 colored illustrations, including this one, depicting the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the Russian Empire in their traditional attire. Volume 1 also includes a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations in various cities across the empire, as well as a colored-coded ethnographic map. Volume 2, which is all text, offers detailed essays about the history, culture, language, and other aspects of each ethnic group. In this photograph, we see a group of Transbaikal Buryats, an ethnic group inhabiting the Transbaikal region of Russia, near the border with China. The Buryats are an Eastern Mongolian people, and their traditional dress reflects their Mongolian heritage. The men wear long, flowing robes with wide belts, and their hats are adorned with fur. The women wear long, pleated skirts and blouses, and their headdresses are adorned with beads and other decorative elements. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the Transbaikal Buryats during a time when their traditional way of life was still largely intact. It is a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that has always existed within the Russian Empire and continues to be a source of pride and inspiration today.
