EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Construction of the Krasnoyarsk Women's Gymnasium, 1883," is a captivating glimpse into the past of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia during the late Tsarist period. Taken by renowned photographer AK Keppel, this image is part of a collection of over four hundred photographs documenting daily life in Yenisei Province. The photograph captures the progress of constructing the Women's Gymnasium, an educational institution for young girls, in the heart of Krasnoyarsk. The image showcases the exterior of the building under construction, with workers and laborers toiling away at the site. The large wooden pole in the foreground serves as a makeshift marker, indicating the location of the future school. The surrounding landscape is barren, with the winter snow covering the ground, adding to the stark and raw beauty of the scene. The image is a testament to the determination and resilience of the people who built the gymnasium, despite the harsh Siberian climate. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the educational system and the architectural landscape of Krasnoyarsk during the 19th century. The image also highlights the meeting of frontiers, as Russia continued to expand its territory into Siberia. The construction of the Women's Gymnasium marked a significant step towards advancing education for women in the region, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and history of Krasnoyarsk and Siberia.
