EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Little Russians. (Ukrainians)", was created by Karl Fiale in 1862 as part of the ethnographic study "Description ethnographique des peuples de la Russie" (Ethnographic description of the peoples of Russia). Commissioned by Tsar Alexander II to mark the millennium of the founding of the Russian Empire, this two-volume work aimed to document and celebrate the diverse ethnic groups inhabiting the vast Russian Empire. Volume 1 of this comprehensive study consists of 62 color illustrations, including this image of Ukrainians, or 'Little Russians'. Fiale, a German ethnographer who had immigrated to Russia, meticulously captured the traditional attire and customs of various ethnicities within the empire. This photograph, specifically, showcases the vibrant and intricate costumes of the Ukrainian people. The volume also includes a fold-out table listing the different ethnic groups and their populations in various cities, as well as a colored-coded ethnographic map. Volume 2 of the work is dedicated to detailed essays, in French, about the history, culture, language, and other aspects of the ethnic groups of the empire. The work reflects the state of anthropological and historical knowledge of the 1860s, providing a valuable insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Russian Empire during this period. This photograph is a testament to the extensive research and documentation efforts of Fiale and the broader ethnographic movement of the time. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the Ukrainian people during the mid-19th century, showcasing their unique traditions and the intricacies of their cultural identity.
