Altai Man in National Costume (Hat: Kuaraan Boruk, Sheepskin Coat: Ton, with a... 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov)
Altai Man in National Costume (Hat: Kuaraan Boruk, Sheepskin Coat: Ton, with a Stepped Cutout) on a Horse, 1911-1913. From a collection of color postcards of the Altay, or Altai, Mountains region of southern Siberia early in the 20th century. In 1907, Borisov began his expedition in the Altay Mountains, which lasted until 1911. He took around 1, 500 photographs during this expedition, which, upon his return to Barnaul, he presented to the public through the use of a magic lantern. The photographs depict views of nature in remote corners of the Altay Mountains and the Altay and Kazakh peoples indigenous to this region. Borisov offered the photographs to various European publishers for the production of postcards. Altai State Regional Studies Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures an Altai man in his traditional national costume, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the Altay Mountains region in southern Siberia. The man is adorned in a Kuaraan Boruk hat and a Ton sheepskin coat with a stepped cutout, riding gracefully on horseback against the breathtaking backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his expedition in the Altay Mountains, this image is part of a collection of color postcards that offer a glimpse into the indigenous Altay and Kazakh peoples living in this remote frontier. Borisov's passion for ethnography and anthropology shines through in his meticulous documentation of nature and culture in this region.
As one of around 1,500 photographs taken by Borisov during his expedition, this particular image stands out for its vivid portrayal of traditional clothing, horseback riding, and majestic landscapes. It serves as a valuable historical record preserved at the Altai State Regional Studies Museum.
Through Borisov's lens, we are transported back to early 20th-century Siberia, where tradition meets modernity on the banks of rivers and amidst towering mountains. This photograph is not just a visual delight but also a testament to the enduring spirit of the Altai people and their unique way of life.
