EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, titled "Irkutsk: Prospect, 1904-1914," showcases a stunning view of the Russian city of Irkutsk during the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown artist, is part of a series of chromolithographs produced by the Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo Granberg publishing company in Russia. Irkutsk, located in Siberia, Russia, is depicted as a bustling city with a unique blend of European and Asian influences. The cityscape is dominated by impressive buildings with colorful facades, including a grand church and a stately city hall. The image also reveals the presence of a postal service, as a postal box is visible in the foreground, and a communication tower can be seen in the distance. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of figures, both men and women, who are engaged in various activities. Some are seen seated on benches in the gardens, while others are walking along the paths. A monumental sculpture and a fence add to the intrigue of the image, creating a sense of history and heritage. The meeting of European and Asian frontiers is evident in the architectural styles and the diverse population, which is reflected in the clothing and accessories worn by the figures. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of an image from a lithographic stone or metal plate to paper, adds to the vibrancy and richness of the image. This beautiful artifact, now part of the National Library of Russia's collection, offers a glimpse into the past and provides valuable insights into the history, culture, and daily life of Irkutsk during the early 1900s. The image captures the essence of a bygone era and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of Russia and Siberia.
