Footnotes

Baron Joseph Berthelot de Baye (1853-1931) was a French archaeologist, explorer and ethnologist who turned in 1890 towards the Russian Empire, researching the history and customs of Ukraine through the Caucasus and to Siberia. As a French aristocrat, he was welcomed into Petersburg society and the 1892 album attests to a large number of distinguished admirers and patrons of his research.
