Carrick, William Portraits of Russian Types. 1860s. 12 albumen prints, mounted on original studio carte-de-visite. Each approximately 9.5 x 5.5 cm. Several bear a number in the negative in the lower right corner; bound as a leporello in a small gray canvas album with the gilt-embossed title “Types Russes” on the front cover. The Scottish-Russian artist and photographer William Carrick was born in Edinburgh and raised in Kronstadt. In 1844, his family moved to St. Petersburg, where he enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Arts to study architecture. During a brief return to Edinburgh in 1857, Carrick met the photographic technician John MacGregor. The two returned to Russia together and established a studio in St. Petersburg, with MacGregor serving as Carrick’s assistant. Carrick quickly emerged as a pioneering photographer of Russian ethnographic subjects, documenting rural life with remarkable humanity and sensitivity. Popular with tourists of the time, these images are now exceptionally rare. – Edges of the album spine are rubbed/torn; some photos have small spots; otherwise, the album is in very good condition.
