EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Karlis Huns in 1862, offers a rare glimpse into the interior of the tent of Devlet-Girey, the Sultan of the Inner Kyrgyz Horde. The image is part of the ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia, a two-volume work published in Saint Petersburg to mark the millennium of the Russian Empire. Devlet-Girey's tent, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Kyrgyz people. The Sultan's throne, located at the center of the tent, is surrounded by ornate rugs and cushions, suggesting a life of luxury and comfort. The presence of weapons and hunting gear near the throne underscores the importance of nomadic traditions and the role of the horse and hunting in Kyrgyz society. The ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia, also known as "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," was the work of Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia. The publication of this work marked a significant contribution to the study of the diverse ethnic groups that inhabited the Russian Empire in the mid-19th century. This photograph is a testament to the extensive research and documentation efforts of Pauli and his team, providing a valuable insight into the material culture and daily life of the Inner Kyrgyz Horde during this period. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and diversity that continues to define the peoples of Central Asia today.
