EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frants Taikhel in 1862, showcases the traditional attire of the Tatar people residing in the Transcaucasian Territory of the Russian Empire. The image is part of the album "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie," or "Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia," published in Saint Petersburg in 1862. Dedicated to Tsar Alexander II, this two-volume work aimed to document the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the vast Russian Empire. Volume 1 of the album consists of 62 colored illustrations, including this one of the Tatars, and a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations in various cities across the empire. Additionally, a colored-coded ethnographic map is included, indicating which groups inhabited which regions. Frants Taikhel's photograph is a testament to the meticulous documentation of the ethnic diversity of the Russian Empire during this time. Gustav-Fedor Pauli, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia, was the mastermind behind the "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie." Pauli's work reflects the state of anthropological and historical knowledge of the 1860s, providing valuable insights into the culture, history, language, and traditions of the various ethnic groups in the empire. This photograph of the Tatar people is a poignant reminder of the rich cultural heritage that was being documented and preserved during this period.
