EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the early 1910s, a group of Altay people, an ethnic community of Turkic origin, are gathered in the vast expanse of Siberia's Altai Mountains. The Altay people, also known as the Altai or the Altaians, have historically inhabited the Altai Republic and Altai Krai in Russia, as well as neighboring regions of Tuva and Mongolia. The image captures a moment of celebration, with a bride, resplendent in her traditional costume, seated on a horse. Her attire, featuring a long, flowing robe adorned with intricate embroidery and a headdress bedecked with beads and fur, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Altay people. Surrounding the bride are her family members and friends, who have come together to support and honor her on this significant day. The scene is set against the backdrop of a traditional Altay dwelling, known as a yurt, which is made of felt and wood and can be easily transported by horse. The Altay people have long been known for their strong connection to the land and their nomadic way of life, which has been shaped by their environment and their history. Their traditions, which include horseback riding, hunting, and herding, have been passed down from generation to generation. Despite the challenges of modernization and the encroachment of external influences, the Altay people continue to preserve their unique identity and their deep-rooted traditions. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into their past, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that exists within the vast expanse of Siberia.
