EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "A bull drawn in a cart," is a captivating image from the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, dating back to 1890. The album, which contains 151 photographs, documents various aspects of life in the Yakutsk region during the late 19th century. This particular photograph showcases a powerful bull, harnessed to a simple wooden cart, as it is being pulled by a man. The scene takes place in a rural area, likely along the banks of the Lena River, which is a significant waterway in Siberia, Russia. The bull, a large and muscular animal, is an essential part of the traditional way of life for the indigenous Buryat and Yakut peoples of the region. The use of bulls for transportation was a common practice, allowing for the efficient movement of goods and people over rough terrain. The man in the photograph, dressed in traditional clothing, is expertly guiding the animal, demonstrating the close relationship between humans and animals in this community. This photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices of the people living in the Yakutsk region during the late 19th century. It is also an important reminder of the rich heritage and diversity of the indigenous peoples of Siberia and their deep connection to the land and its natural resources. The photograph is part of the collections of the Irkutsk State University, now housed in the Library of Congress, Washington D.C. The album, which includes several photographs signed with the initials I.P., is a testament to the scientific and educational interests of the time, as well as the meeting of frontiers between different cultures and ways of life.
