EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Diverse Nations of the Russian Empire," is an intricately detailed copperplate engraving from the late 18th century. The illustration, hand-colored by Lazaretti from Giovanni Battista Sonzogno's Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages, offers a vivid portrayal of the multicultural tapestry of the Russian Empire during the early 19th century. The engraving showcases a diverse array of ethnic groups and tribes that inhabited the vast expanse of the Russian Empire, including the Siberians, Tongusians, Kalmyks, Tartars, Finns, and Cossacks. Each figure is meticulously depicted in traditional attire, reflecting their unique cultural heritage. The Siberians, depicted in the foreground, are shown wearing fur hats and furs, while the Tongusians, in the center, are adorned with intricate headdresses and turbans. The Kalmyks, in the background, are identified by their distinctive hats and long beards, while the Tartars are shown in traditional robes and headscarves. The Finns, in the upper left corner, are depicted wearing hats with ear flaps, and the Cossacks, in the lower right corner, are dressed in military uniforms. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural diversity that existed within the Russian Empire during this period, showcasing the various tribes and hordes that contributed to the complex and dynamic fabric of Russian society. The intricate copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, hand-colored by Lazaretti, is a testament to the artistic skill and detail that characterized the most interesting voyages of the time.
