EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time when the family of renowned poet Yakov Petrovich Polonsky paid a visit to fellow poet Afanasy Afanasievich Fet. Taken in 1890 by Sergei Dmitrievich Botkin, this albumin print showcases the elegance and sophistication of the belle epoque era. In the image, we see a gathering of individuals from different generations, each with their own unique presence. The elderly poets stand side by side, their faces etched with wisdom and experience. They are joined by a woman who exudes grace and poise, perhaps an esteemed writer herself. The scene is completed by a young child standing near his parents, representing the continuation of literary legacy into future generations. The family is surrounded by sunlight filtering through delicate sunshades, casting an ethereal glow over them. The fashion of the late 19th century is on full display here - intricate costumes adorned with lace and ruffles that reflect both opulence and refinement. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into not only the personal lives of these literary figures but also serves as a testament to their contributions to Russian literature. As we marvel at this early twentieth-century photograph captured in stunning detail and contrasted tones, we are reminded of the power of art to transcend time and connect us with our cultural heritage.
