Asian man and woman, 1900. Creator: Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov
Asian man and woman, 1900. From a collection of 71 items (photographs and negatives on glass) made in the late 19th century and early 20th century by the famous revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin (1851-1937) and by N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878. The materials in the collection illustrate aspects of Transbaikal history in this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which at that time was one of the main branches of the economy of the region. The photographs show various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, as well as views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages of Transbaikal, as well as images of local people of different ethnicities and nationalities.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Asian man and woman" by Nikolai Nikolaevich Petrov, dates back to the early 20th century and is part of a collection of 71 items, including photographs and negatives on glass, created by the revolutionary-populist and social and political activist N.A. Charushin and N. Petrov. Charushin began serving a hard labor sentence in the Transbaikal Territory in 1878, and the materials in the collection offer a unique insight into the history of the region during this period, with a particular emphasis on the tea trade with China, which was a significant economic branch at the time. The image depicts a double portrait of an Asian man and woman, both dressed in traditional clothing, standing in front of a plain backdrop. The man wears a long robe with wide sleeves, and his hair is styled in a topknot. The woman, wearing a long, flowing dress with intricate patterns, has her hair pulled back into a bun. Their serious expressions and the formal setting suggest a formal occasion or a significant meeting. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Asia during the early 20th century, providing a window into the lives of people from different ethnicities and nationalities. The image is a testament to the meeting of frontiers and the complex interplay of cultures and traditions that characterized this period in history. The photograph is a stunning example of the art of studio portraiture and the power of photography to capture a moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
