EDITORS COMMENTS
Chukchi Man," an evocative chromolithograph image captured by Russian explorer Ivan Dem'ianovich Bulychev in 1856, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Chukchi people during the 19th century. The full-length portrait depicts a Chukchi man, dressed in traditional apparel, seated before a backdrop of a barren landscape. The man wears a fur-lined tunic, reaching down to his knees, and a pair of high, fur-trimmed boots with intricately designed carriages. The image, taken from Bulychev's album "A journey across eastern Siberia: Part 1, Trip to Kamchatka," is a testament to the meeting of frontiers between the Russian civilization and the indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Russian Far East. Bulychev, a member of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, compiled this album, which consists of 64 finely drawn illustrations, most in color, taken from various publications and bound together. The collection documents the diverse ethnic groups, landscapes, and towns and cities of Siberia and the Russian Far East, providing a valuable historical record of this period. This chromolithograph, in particular, showcases the Chukchi man's unique attire and the importance of fur in their clothing. The image is a significant addition to the anthropological and ethnographic records of the era, offering a window into the lives and customs of the Chukchi people during the 1850s. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and the sense of stillness in the image make it a captivating work of art and a valuable historical document. This image, along with the rest of Bulychev's collection, is housed in various libraries, including the National Library of Russia and the Library of Congress, and serves as an essential resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Siberia and the Russian Far East.
