EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1890, showcases an Old Believer family in their traditional attire. The Old Believers, also known as the Old Ritualists, were a group of Eastern Orthodox Christians who refused to accept the reforms introduced by the Russian Orthodox Church in the 17th century. They lived in isolated communities in Siberia, including the Yakutsk region. This image is part of the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, which contains 151 photographs, now housed in the Library of Congress. The album offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the people living in this remote area during the 19th century. The family members are seated around a table, engaged in a conversation or perhaps a prayer. The father, with a serious expression, is dressed in a long, fur coat and a fur hat. The mother, wearing a traditional headdress and a long, flowing skirt, is holding a baby in her arms. The children, dressed in simple, warm clothing, are looking at the camera with curiosity or apprehension. The photograph provides a glimpse into the domestic life of this Old Believer family, offering a glimpse into their cultural heritage and religious practices. The setting, with the plain wooden table and the simple decor, emphasizes their connection to the land and their traditional way of life. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diverse cultures that have shaped Russia and its people. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical records, such as this album, for future generations to learn from and appreciate.
