EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the encounter between a Russian peasant and a group of Kalmuck Tartars in the 1830s. The Russian peasant, dressed in traditional garb with a simple hat and a thick, woolen coat trimmed with fur, stands with a branch in hand, seemingly curious and perhaps a little apprehensive as he gazes at the Kalmuck Tartars. The Kalmuck Tartars, a Mongolian people who had migrated to the region, are depicted in their distinctive clothing, with women wearing long, flowing robes and men wearing tall hats adorned with intricate designs. The scene takes place in a wooded area, with the sun filtering through the trees, casting dappled light on the ground. The peaceful setting belies the complex history between the two groups, who had a long and often tumultuous relationship. This photograph, taken in 1832, offers a glimpse into the past, capturing the moment of interaction between two distinct cultural groups in rural Russia during the 1830s.
