At Work, 1909. Creator: Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev
At Work, 1909. This image is from Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home), one of three albums depicting the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks living in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. These albums were created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The albums were part of a collection of photographs assembled between 1891 and 1918 by the museum of the West Siberian Branch of the Imperial Russian Geographic Society in Omsk. The photographs in the albums were taken in 1909 by N.G. Katanaev (son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev), during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai (later the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk). Omsk State Museum of Regional History and Folklife

EDITORS COMMENTS
captured by Nikolai Georgievich Katanaev in 1909, offers a glimpse into the daily life of Siberian Cossacks during this period. This black-and-white photograph is part of the "Tipy kazakov: Sibirskie kazaki na sluzhbe i doma" (Types of Cossacks: Siberian Cossacks on duty and at home) album, showcasing the territories, culture, and way of life of the Cossacks residing in the steppe regions of western Siberia and present-day Kazakhstan. The image was taken during a journey to Cossack settlements in Stepnoi krai, which later became the oblasts of Ural'sk, Turgai, Akmola, and Semipalatinsk, by Katanaev, the son of Colonel G.E. Katanaev. The photograph was created for and exhibited at the First West Siberian Agricultural, Forestry, and Commercial-Industrial Exhibition in Omsk in 1911. The scene depicts a group of women and children gathered around a table, engaged in various domestic activities. A woman spins wool using a spinning wheel, while another woman sits beside her, perhaps mending clothes. Children play and interact with each other, adding to the lively atmosphere. The photograph captures the essence of a Cossack household, with buildings and machinery visible in the background, suggesting the blend of rural and industrial life. The image is a testament to the rich heritage and history of the Cossacks, a Slavic people who played a significant role in Russia's expansion into Siberia. This still image, taken over a century ago, offers a unique perspective into the past and serves as an important historical document. Katanaev's masterful use of light and composition adds depth and meaning to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic photographs.
