EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Deputies of the Caucasian Tribes (who were at the coronation of the Sovereign Emperor in Moscow in 1856)," is an ethnographic masterpiece by the renowned Russian artist, Nicolas Aleksandrovich Sauerweid. Created in 1862 as part of the two-volume work "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia), this photograph is a testament to the rich cultural diversity of the Russian Empire during the late 19th century. The image captures a group of Caucasian deputies, dressed in their traditional attire, who were privileged to attend the coronation of the Sovereign Emperor in Moscow. The Russian Empire, which celebrated its millennium in 1862, was a vast and multicultural entity, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of some of its most distinctive ethnic groups. Sauerweid's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and textures of the clothing, the varied facial features, and the diverse body postures of the subjects. The photograph is part of a larger project that aimed to document and celebrate the ethnic diversity of the Russian Empire. "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" consisted of 62 colored illustrations, a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations, and a colored-coded ethnographic map. Volume 2 of the work, which is all text, delves deeper into the history, culture, language, and other aspects of the ethnic groups of the empire. This photograph is not only a valuable historical document but also a work of art that showcases the beauty and complexity of the human experience. It invites us to reflect on the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped the world we live in today and reminds us of the importance of preserving and celebrating our diverse heritage.
