The Caucasian Types postcards date back to the 19th-20th century and can be considered representative for the “popularized ethnography” of the Russian Empire. Their primitive typology follows the classical rules of exotization : they depict “pittoresque” groups from various tribes, families or nationalities, or representatives of diverse professions.
rdogadin, you have an exceptional collection of postcards. I've really enjoyed seeing them and reading about the cultures and histories.
