EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the Mansi people engaging in their traditional hunting practices alongside majestic falcons. Taken in 1914, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of these indigenous people residing in Khantia-Mansia, an autonomous region within Tyumen Oblast, Russia. Formerly known as Voguls, the Mansi people have deep-rooted connections to their natural surroundings and have developed unique hunting techniques over generations. In this scene from the Ural Mountains, we witness their harmonious partnership with these magnificent birds of prey. The chromolithograph print beautifully showcases vibrant colors that bring life to every detail - from the vivid plumage of the falcons to the intricate patterns adorning traditional clothing worn by both adults and children alike. The presence of young ones suggests that hunting skills were passed down through generations as part of their cultural heritage. Mounted on horseback against a backdrop of breathtaking mountain scenery, these skilled hunters demonstrate their expertise while navigating through rugged terrain. Their tent can be seen nearby, serving as a temporary shelter during extended hunts amidst nature's grandeur. As we delve into this early 20th-century illustration steeped in history and social significance, it becomes evident that it represents more than just an ordinary hunt. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience while highlighting the intimate relationship between indigenous communities and nature. Through this remarkable artwork preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness an age-old tradition cherished by the Mansi people – one that continues to shape their identity and connect them deeply with both past traditions and present realities.
