Extract

Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography/Muzei antropologii i etnografii im. Petra Velikogo RAN (Kunstkamera) includes a few photograph collections dedicated to Ethiopia. Amongst them, a considerable quantity refers to the period of-1896-1913 characterised by the active work of the Russian diplomatic mission. This cluster of visual material has not been interpreted in a proper manner. This article is an attempt to arrange this material so as to make it suitable for further research. With this purpose, the inventory numbers of the photos are given to assist searching on the official website. The survey is based on the analysis of inventories of the Museum's collection mentioned in the text.
