Figure 1.--This enlongaited CDV shows an unidetified boy in a Cossock outfit. The studio is not identified so we do not know if he is Russian or Ukranian. We do know that the portrait was taken in 1907. This confirms our assessment thzt after the turn-of-the 20 century that we begin to see CDVs and cabinet cards with new style mounts and a wide diversity of styles and shapes. Notice that this CDV has virtually no border or studi unformation at the bottom. SCVs and cabinent cards taken before the turn-of-the century wre not shaped like this, had substantial margins and usully studio information.

We have archived an umber of Ukranian photographs. As far as we can see, during both the Tsarist and Soviet era, there is no difference betweem Russian and Ukranian photography. As Ukraine was controlled and government from Moscow, regulations and trends were essentially the same. The same is true fir Bylorussia as well. Unless the location is indicated, it is virtually impossible to differentiate Russian, Bylorussian, and Ukranian photographs. The only exception is folk costuming and detailing and even here it is not always possible. Perhaps Russian and Ukranian readers will have some insights here. As we have launched upon these photographic sections primarily in an effort to date undated photographs, we are not going to build a separate Russian and Ukraniuan photographic section. If we discover a difference, we will revisit this decesionm but at this time we will have just one photographic section for Russia and the Ukraine.
