Altai Woman in National Costume (Hat: Kuaraan Boruk, Sheepskin Coat: Ton, Sleeveless... 1911-1913. Creator: Sergei Ivanovich Borisov)
Altai Woman in National Costume (Hat: Kuaraan Boruk, Sheepskin Coat: Ton, Sleeveless Garment: Chegedek; Clothing of a Married Woman) with 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 print captures the essence of a bygone era in the Altai Mountains region of southern Siberia. The Altai Woman in National Costume stands proudly next to her horse, showcasing the traditional attire of her people with intricate details such as the Kuaraan Boruk hat, Ton sheepskin coat, and Chegedek sleeveless garment - all symbols of her married status.
Taken between 1911-1913 by Sergei Ivanovich Borisov during his extensive expedition in the Altay Mountains, this image is just one of around 1,500 photographs he captured during his time there. Borisov's dedication to documenting the indigenous peoples and stunning landscapes of this remote region is evident in every detail of this photograph.
The color postcard format allows us a glimpse into a world long past, where nature meets tradition and culture thrives against a backdrop of rugged mountains and flowing rivers. The heritage art preserved in these images offers us a window into history, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of those who called this land home.
As we gaze upon this striking portrait, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by generations before us - their customs, clothing, and connection to the land they cherished. This print serves as both a historical record and a testament to the enduring spirit of the Altay people.
