Gilyak in a winter suit, 1865-1871. This album contains 154 photographs taken in the second half of the 1860s and 1870s by a local photographer from the Far East, V. V. Lanin. The merchant V. P. Myl'nikov presented it as a gift to the Imperial Public Library of St. Petersburg upon his return from the Amur region. The photographs represent a variety of subjects, including municipal scenes of Blagoveshchensk, Nikolaevsk-na-Amure, and Vladivostok; images of native life and culture, views of nature, and commerce along the Amur, Ussuri, and Suifun Rivers.
