EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Daughter and Mother, Gilyak," captures a tender moment between two women of the Gilyak ethnic group, indigenous to the Far East region of Russia, during the 1860s. The image is one of 154 photographs taken by local photographer V.V. Lanin and presented as a gift to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg upon his return from the Amur region. The mother, dressed in a traditional Gilyak costume, wears a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns and a wide-brimmed hat. Her daughter, also dressed in traditional clothing, gazes directly at the camera with a curious expression, her hand resting gently on her mother's shoulder. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life and culture of the Gilyak people during this time period. The photograph is a valuable historical and ethnographic record, providing insight into the clothing, customs, and traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Far East. The image also speaks to the themes of family, motherhood, and the meeting of frontiers as the Russian empire expanded into new territories. The direct gaze of the women adds a sense of intimacy and authenticity to the photograph, making it a poignant and enduring image from the 19th century.
