EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Lake Baikal in Russia during the early 20th century. The image showcases a scene of fishermen engaged in the age-old tradition of fishing for omul, a popular fish found in this region. The composition highlights a boat floating peacefully on the calm waters, with a tugboat nearby suggesting that transportation played an essential role in this industry. The historic significance of this photograph is evident as it was featured as an illustration in "Views of the USSR" a publication from Foreign Languages Publishing House in Moscow circa 1955. Although no specific photographer is credited, its origin lies within Russian photography art. Lake Baikal's vastness and natural splendor are emphasized by the presence of wildlife surrounding the fishermen. This snapshot provides insight into not only traditional fishing practices but also offers glimpses into Russian culture and Asian ethnicity prevalent in Siberia during that era. As part of Soviet Union history, this image serves as a reminder of life during that time period. Its black and white aesthetic adds to its nostalgic charm while preserving historical moments for future generations to appreciate. Printed in Russia and now part of a private collection, this print represents both artistic expression and documentation of an important aspect of Russian heritage - fishing on Lake Baikal.
