EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving transports us back in time to a nighttime fair at Obdorsk in 1812-13. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of campfires, casting an enchanting light on the snowy landscape of Siberia. In this lively gathering, Samoyedic people and their families come together, creating a vibrant atmosphere filled with joy and excitement. The focal point of the image is a group of Samoyeds, known for their friendly nature and striking appearance. These beautiful dogs are surrounded by children who eagerly interact with them, showcasing the strong bond between humans and animals in this Arctic region. The presence of sleds suggests that transportation plays a crucial role in these communities during winter. In the background stands a picturesque church, symbolizing both religious devotion and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even amidst leisurely activities such as fairs, traditions remain deeply ingrained within society. This illustration comes from "Les Peuples de la Russie" an insightful publication by Charles de Rechberg that provides detailed descriptions of Russian customs and costumes. Its inclusion here adds historical context to the image, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as documentation of life during this period. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported into a world where nightfall does not dampen spirits but instead ignites warmth and camaraderie among families gathered under starlit skies in wintry Siberia.
