EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Kazan Tatars, 1862," is a remarkable piece of historical documentation captured by the talented Karlis Huns. It is part of the renowned album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia), published in Saint Petersburg in 1862 to commemorate the millennium anniversary of the Russian Empire's founding.
Within this two-volume work dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, Volume 1 presents us with a visual feast comprising 62 vividly colored illustrations showcasing various ethnic groups from across the vast expanse of the empire. Each illustration depicts these diverse communities adorned in their traditional attire, offering an invaluable glimpse into their distinct cultures and identities.
Accompanying these striking visuals is a fold-out table that meticulously details each ethnic group's population size within different cities throughout the empire. Additionally, readers are treated to a color-coded ethnographic map illustrating which specific regions were inhabited by each group.
Volume 2 delves deeper into comprehensive essays written in French by Gustav-Fedor Pauli, an esteemed German ethnographer who immigrated to Russia. These insightful texts provide detailed accounts on topics such as history, culture, language, and more – reflecting our understanding at that time through anthropological and historical lenses.
