Photographic Print : Bottling of Mares Milk (Kumis)
Photo Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Bottling of Mares Milk (Kumis)
Russia - the bottling of Kumis by a Muslim family. Kumis is a fermented dairy product traditionally made from horses (mare s) milk. The drink remains important to the people of the Central Asian steppes, including the Turks, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Mongols, Yakuts and Uzbeks. Toward the end of the 19th century, kumis had a strong enough reputation as a cure-all to support a small industry of kumis cure resorts, mostly in southeastern Russia. This cottage industry (pictured here), is likely to be supplying such a resort with Kumis

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Muslim family in Russia engages in the traditional process of bottling Kumis, a fermented dairy product made from the milk of mares. The scene takes place in a quaint wooden cottage, nestled in the heart of the Central Asian steppes. The family members, dressed in traditional clothing, work together to bottle the Kumis, which remains an essential part of the cultural heritage for various ethnic groups, including the Turks, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Mongols, Yakuts, and Uzbeks. Kumis, also known as Koumiss, Kumis, Kymyz, Kymys, Kymysz, or Qymyz, has a rich history that dates back to ancient times. Towards the end of the 19th century, the drink gained significant popularity due to its reputation as a cure-all, leading to the establishment of a small industry of Kumis cure resorts, primarily in southeastern Russia. The family in this photograph likely runs a cottage industry, supplying these resorts with the traditional beverage. The process involves collecting fresh mare's milk, fermenting it, and then bottling it for distribution. The use of horses for milk production is an essential aspect of the tradition, as they are well-adapted to the harsh steppe environment and provide high-quality milk. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of Kumis as a cultural and medicinal beverage for various communities in Russia and Central Asia. The wooden cottage, with its warm and inviting atmosphere, serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the people and their traditions.
