From the Thames to Siberia - A Glimpse into a Distant World
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph, titled "From the Thames to Siberia" takes us on a visual journey from bustling London to the vast and mysterious landscapes of northern Siberia. Created by renowned artist Amedee Forestier in 1891, this print offers a glimpse into an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The scene depicts a river steamer named Phoenix navigating through the mighty Yenisei River, laden with precious cargo - firwood timber. The ship's deck is filled with stacks of wood, symbolizing both the abundance of natural resources in Russia and its importance as fuel for survival in these remote regions. Intriguingly, amidst this industrial activity lies a solemn reminder of human existence - graves dotting the riverside. These final resting places serve as poignant reminders that even in such distant lands, life and death are intertwined. The print captures not only the physical landscape but also hints at cultural encounters between Russian settlers and indigenous Samoyede people. It evokes curiosity about their ways of life and traditions that have thrived for centuries against harsh climates. Forestier's meticulous attention to detail brings this momentous journey alive; every stroke breathes life into birds soaring above, adding an element of freedom against nature's grandeur. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, it serves as a window into history—a testament to human resilience and our unyielding desire for exploration
