Tea sorting, end of 19th century. Creator: Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin
Tea sorting, end of 19th century.
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 collection illustrates 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. Several of the photographs, including one of the large and imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, at that time the capital of Outer Mongolia (and known today as Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia)

Tea Sorting, end of 19th century
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by the renowned revolutionary-populist and social and political activist Nikolai Apollonovich Charushin. This image is part of a collection of 71 photographs and negatives on glass, created between the late 19th century and early 20th century. Charushin's photographs offer a unique glimpse into the history of Transbaikal during this period, with a particular focus on the tea trade with China, which was a significant economic force in the region. In this photograph, we see a group of women meticulously sorting tea leaves. The women sit on the floor, surrounded by large piles of tea leaves, carefully sifting through them to separate the finest leaves from the stems and other impurities. The scene exudes a sense of community and collaboration, as the women work together in a harmonious and efficient manner. The photograph also showcases the intricacies of the tea-making process during this time. The tea leaves are spread out on large mats, and the women use small baskets to sort the leaves based on size and quality. The tea leaves are then packed into chests or sacks for transportation to markets and consumers. Charushin's collection provides a valuable record of Transbaikal history, with images of various technological processes of growing and preparing tea, sections of trade routes, and views of China, Mongolia, Buryatia, and various towns and villages in the region. Several of the photographs, including one of the imposing Russian consulate, were taken in Urga, the capital of Outer Mongolia at that time. Charushin's photographs offer a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the lives and cultures of the people of Transbaikal during a period of significant historical change.
