EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Yakuts on horses," is a striking image from the late 19th century, taken in the Yakutsk Region of Siberia, Russia. The image is part of the album "Views of the Yakutsk Region," which contains 151 photographs, documenting the Lena River shore, various forms of transportation, and indigenous life. The Yakuts, also known as the Sakha people, are an indigenous ethnic group inhabiting the vast and extreme northern and eastern regions of Russia. In this photograph, several Yakut men are depicted riding horses, showcasing their traditional way of life and their deep connection to their land. The horses, strong and sturdy, appear well-adapted to the rugged terrain, with their coats glistening in the sunlight. The Yakuts have a rich cultural heritage, with a long history of reindeer herding, hunting, and fishing. They have lived in this region for thousands of years, and their traditional way of life has been shaped by the harsh climate and the unique geography of Siberia. This photograph offers a glimpse into their past, providing valuable insights into their history and traditions. The photograph is unsigned, but it is known that several of the images in the album were taken by I.P., who is believed to be connected to Irkutsk State University. The album is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers studying the history and ethnography of the Yakut people and the Russian Empire.
