Western Russian Fmily drinking Mares Milk
Family from the Baltic Region - Far Western Russia at this period - passing round a bottle of Kumis. Kumis is a fermented dairy product traditionally made from horses (mare s) milk. The drink remains important to the people of the Central Asian steppes, including the Turks, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Mongols, Yakuts and Uzbeks. Toward the end of the 19th century, kumis had a strong enough reputation as a cure-all to support a small industry of kumis cure resorts, mostly in southeastern Russia. This cottage industry (pictured here), is likely to be supplying such a resort with Kumis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tradition and family bonding in far western Russia during the late 19th century. The scene takes place in a quaint backyard setting, where a Russian family gathers around a table, passing a bottle of kumis from one member to another. Kumis, a fermented dairy product, is traditionally made from the milk of mares and holds great cultural significance for the people of the Central Asian steppes, including the Turks, Bashkirs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Mongols, Yakuts, and Uzbeks. The drink, known by various names such as koumiss, kumiss, kymyz, kymyz, kumysz, qymyz, and kumys, has a long history and a reputation as a natural cure-all. Towards the end of the 19th century, kumis had gained enough popularity to support a small industry of kumis cure resorts, mostly in southeastern Russia. This cottage industry, likely supplying such a resort, is depicted in the photograph. The family members, dressed in their traditional costumes, are seen sharing the drink with each other, passing it around in a friendly and communal manner. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the scene suggests the importance of this drink not only for its health benefits but also for its role in bringing people together. The rich history and tradition of kumis are beautifully encapsulated in this heartwarming image, offering a glimpse into the past and the unique cultural heritage of the Russian people.
