EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, features a Yakut woman dressed in her finest festive attire. The image is part of the "Views of the Yakutsk Region" album, which contains 151 photographs documenting life along the Lena River in Siberia, Russia. The collection includes various forms of transportation, post offices, and scenes of daily life. The Yakut woman in this photograph is adorned in intricately decorated traditional clothing, which reflects the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous people of the region. Her hat, adorned with colorful ribbons and fur, adds a striking contrast to her dark, traditional dress. The woman's position and the way she looks directly at the camera suggest a sense of pride and confidence in her ethnic identity. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the clothing and fashion of the Yakut people during the Russian Empire. The image is also a testament to the diverse and vibrant cultures that existed on the frontiers of the expanding Russian state. The photograph is unsigned, but it is known to be part of the Irkutsk State University collection, which is now housed in the Library of Congress. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditional clothing and cultural heritage of indigenous peoples around the world.
