80. A simple local Russian, who in winter carries from house to house for sale both game and Archangel herring. Beneath his coat, at the neck, one sees the blue-and-white woven shirt such as Russians often wear, called persitzkaja rubaha. In his little box (a container made of birch bark) he has herring; in the woven bag on his back are hazel grouse; and over his shoulder he has slung black grouse. Such game, preserved fresh in winter by the sledge road and the frost, is brought here to us from distant provinces of Russia; in the same way, herring is brought here only in winter, by sledges. Detail of a drawing by J. C. Brotze (III, 69)
