This photo print, titled "Inari Lapps, 1862," is a remarkable depiction of the indigenous Inari Lapp people captured by the talented Karl Fiale. This image is part of the illustrious album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia), which was published in Saint Petersburg in 1862 to commemorate the millennium anniversary of the Russian Empire's establishment.
Volume 1 of this extraordinary two-volume work comprises 62 vibrant illustrations showcasing various ethnic groups across the vast expanse of the empire, each adorned in their traditional attire. Additionally, it includes a fold-out table enumerating these diverse communities and their respective populations within different cities throughout Russia.
