Asian Men, 1880. Creator: Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov
Asian Men, 1880.
From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The collection illustrates aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Asian Men" by Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov, is a captivating glimpse into the past, hailing from a collection of 71 items, including photographs and negatives on glass, created in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The collection was produced by Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov and the revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin. At the time, Charushin was serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory. The collection offers a unique perspective on Transbaikal history during this period, with a significant focus on the tea trade with China, which was a major economic force in the region. The photographs depict various stages of tea cultivation and preparation, sections of trade routes, and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages in Transbaikal. Several of the photographs, including this one, were taken in Urga, which was the capital of Outer Mongolia at the time and is now known as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. The photograph, "Asian Men," captures a group of Asian men, likely involved in the tea trade, posing for the camera with a sense of pride and confidence. Their diverse appearances and traditional clothing offer a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the region. The photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the tea trade and the connections between China and Transbaikal during this period. Petrov's skillful use of light and composition adds depth and intrigue to this image, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection.
