Chumaks were Ukrainian peasant traders who used to transport wheat to the Crimea and River Don, returning with salt and fish. Their caravans of hundreds of oxen-driven wagons were a picturesque and frequent sight until railroads replaced their trade routes at the end of the nineteenth century. This was one of Lanceray's most popular designs and was frequently reproduced in illustrated journals of the period. On this design, see L.A. Dementeva, Evgenii Lansere: Albom skulpturnykh modelei, Moscow, 2011, pp. 66-67.
