EDITORS COMMENTS

The image features a young Gilyak girl, aged 16, dressed in traditional clothing from the Far East region of Russia. The photograph is part of a collection of 154 images presented to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg by merchant V.P. Myl'nikov upon his return from the Amur region. The collection, which includes municipal scenes of Blagoveshchensk, Nikolaevsk-na-Amure, and Vladivostok, as well as images of native life and culture, views of nature, and commerce along the Amur, Ussuri, and Suifun Rivers, provides a unique glimpse into the meeting of frontiers during the 19th century. The Gilyak girl in this photograph is shown wearing a traditional coat and jacket, with intricate patterns and details that reflect her ethnic heritage. Her clothing, which is both functional and beautiful, is a testament to the rich cultural traditions of the indigenous peoples of the Far East.

The young girl's profile, with her thoughtful expression and confident posture, invites us to consider the individual stories and experiences that lie behind the larger historical narrative. Overall, "Gilyachka Girl, 16 Years Old" is a striking and evocative image that captures the essence of a moment in time and a place on the map, while also revealing the enduring human connections that transcend borders and generations.
